Finding a turtle poking their head out of the water feels like a subtle invitation into a rich daily life. How many times have we walked by without noticing? Noticed or not, the turtle is there. How else does it pass 24 hours? There is so much we aren’t part of.

Thanks James and great questions to ponder! It's great to experience those encounters and they certainly help fulfill a rich daily life.
Wonderful post, Neil. The photo is picture perfect with the reflection. It draws the viewer in for a closer look! Lovely poem and field note.:)
Thanks Heidi! I was fortunate to catch this image as they surfaced for such a short time!
We all need to come up for air!
Beautiful photos (and poetry) as always.
Thanks MK CREEL and much appreciated
It seems each careful observer becomes also a voyeur, privy to private moments not meant for our eyes.
My thanks to you for bearing witness, and sharing your witness too.
Thanks augmented man and that's a good point about the voyeur aspect. It does feel like peeking into another world for a brief moment.
