Sitting there was Frank Veserat enjoying the day. I explained I was a free lance photographer and I took somewhat unique photos and if he would let me snap off some shots! He supposed it's OK.
I took a few photos of his 1941 Taylorcraft which was called a Grasshopper in WWII as it was used as an observation plane in much the same way as an observation balloon was used in France during World War I.
This is Frank when he was in a good mood! I love this shot enlarged!
Anyway - as I was on the road again I passed a big ass turtle on the side of the road. One of those that are as big as a large dinner plate. He right next to the road looking for a good time to make a "run" for the other side.
I zoomed past going 65 and told myself I should stop and help him. I kept thinking this for like 2 miles and then decided that I had just killed the turtle since I did not help him, IT WAS MY FAULT HE WAS GOING TO GE SQUASHED!
So I vowed to look for him on the way back IF he was still alive.
I actually did find him and he had turned around and was facing the other direction. I pulled over, ran across the highway and he got all like hissy at me. The dude had a BIG mouth and did not appreciate my help a whole lot. I picked him up and started to move him to safety but he like scratched me and I dropped him upside down in the weeds which seemed to anger him even more!
I tipped him up again, move his body with flaying little arms further away from the highway!
HEY - I TRIED!!!
Have a nice Wednesday - Golf tonight IF it does not thunderstorm.
