Turtle

Kayaking on a small river in Florida we came upon this old guy sunning himself on a log. It dawned on me that when he's not sunning himself, his comfort zone is murky alligator-infested water with virtually no visibility. In that he's my polar opposite and yet he's like an old familiar family member.
