After the years long drought there has been no shortage of rain the past few months in Western North Carolina - From late summer downpours to the drenching by tropical storm Ida. The silver lining on all these clouds is the spectacular sunrises we've been getting. There's nothing like the edge of a front mixed with the morning sun.

Box Turtle Rescue
I picked this little lady up off the yellow line on a street in Shelby, NC. Why she was in town with nowhere to go I guess I'll never know. I had an hour drive home and it was a hot day so I put her under a tarp in the back of my truck.
I have a two acre property near a stream and find several box turtles each year in my yard. I couldn't think of a better place to relocate my new friend so I kept her overnight in a large tub with some water and a tomato from the garden to let her calm down a bit.
I let her go the next day in the sun and snapped a few pictures as she made her way into the woods. Maybe we'll meet again.
