Turtles. Recognized by many as the picturesque example of longevity. They move through life steadily, with heavy steps, and zero spring in their stride. Some picture their excursions as tiresome or melancholy, but maybe, they have misread the turtle’s story. Their small steps could allow them to fully experience every minute detail the average venturer would easily overlook. Their slow paced journeys may be the most gratifying adventures of them all.

This photo was taken at my home, my pet turtle modeling as the main subject.
