Speedy the Turtle Onlookers

Just as I was fascinated by the turtles in the park, other pedistrians stopped and looked at the turles.

There were several people that were stopping to look at the bigger turtle and then the small turtles. It was pretty funny that a lot of people were keeping their distance.

I do have to admit that speedy was living up to his name for a turtle, but it amazed me that people were standing so far away. It was like they were afraid that Speedy would catch up to them.

The kids on the park eventually got adventurous and started to get a bit close to the Speedy.

Speedy the Turtle in Tremont Park

Memorial Day Monday was georgeous weather. I was sitting on my porch talking with my sister and watching the pedestrian traffic in the park. I noticed the police stopping and talking with some people who were getting out of a truck.

When the police pulled away, I noticed the three people had turtles. They had three turtles of all sizes. I grabbed my camera and walked over to take some pictures. This photo is of Speedy the turtle and his owner.

The owner was explaining to me that the shell of the turtle was so pointed because the previous owner had not taken proper care of the turtle and it had a diseased shell.
