Poor old turtles in the racing modern world. I feel a duty to propelling them on to the proper direction…

I made that photo before I had the gear Bob Leong suggested. Big aluminum Tilt-all tripod and the camera on self-timer. Took a couple runs back and forth to get what I wanted. I remember the ride — a lovely wet warm morning in the mountains.

I agree Jim that the little acts of courtesy, on the road or otherwise, helps soften an otherwise rough world.

Makes sense. Or maybe donate the account to someone else in need…

I’m generally a sucker for kids selling stuff if they have the loot with them. And especially cookies. I think it’s a good thing to be a sucker in the manner you describe. Bravo.

The scooter is absolutely great for the quick U-turns. For turtles, photos, missed turns or food establishments!

Land turtles have a direction of scent to go to water, across hills and fields
and yes across country roads, and wider. Some get crushed in the process, some don’t. And some are hurried on their journey by thoughtful homosapiens to their other destination, Just make sure you point the correct end in the proper direction, shelled turtles all tend to look similar…

Letting people in from a side street in traffic, giving people room to merge on the highway and not using my horn when someone lingers at a traffic light before moving. Courtesy is so lacking these days.
