Turtle Teleportation: Love Road

We spotted another turtle while on a grocery ride:

Turtle on Love Rd - as spotted - 2014-07-02
Turtle on Love Rd – as spotted – 2014-07-02

Although this is certainly meddling in the turtle’s affairs, it seemed reasonable on a torrid day with plenty of hot asphalt to cross:

Turtle on Love Rd - pickup - 2014-07-02
Turtle on Love Rd – pickup – 2014-07-02

I made the (possibly unwarranted) assumption that the turtle wanted to cross the road; I’ve been wrong before.

In any event, this must be what teleportation feels like:

Turtle on Love Rd - delivery - 2014-07-02
Turtle on Love Rd – delivery – 2014-07-02

There’s not really much on that side of the road, other than an inactive oil spill site left over from when Love Oil ran a tank farm. That’s why it’s called Love Rd, of course.

Perhaps someone else will help the turtle cross the road in the other direction…

    Turtles must trip the “d’awwww” reflex much as puppies and baby seals do.

      Absolutely! Must have something to do with looking really helpless out there on all that asphalt.
