We took a drive on a forestry road yesterday and got a glimpse of an Eastern box turtle. Look at the pattern and bright colors on the shell, just wonderful.
Here's what the forestry road looks like; a road less traveled but easily passable.
We saw lots of plants in bloom and numerous butterflies on Joe Pye weed. The butterfly is a tiger swallowtail.
As we left the forest we saw a field full of mules. Mules are a cross between a horse and a donkey. Horses have 64 chromosomes and donkeys have 62 and mules have 63.
This friendly mule came up to the fence to greet us. Wish I had had a carrot to give him. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
