We came out of our house this evening to find this turtle in our driveway. Note the flower clenched rakishly in his mouth. Gave him a dashing appearance of a man about town, I thought, until I realized I did not know if it was a boy or a girl. Neither do I know if this is a turtle or a tortoise. What is the difference, anyway?

The flower in the mouth came from a bunch like this, which, now that I'm looking at it, looks eerily like Africa.

gorgeous flowers!
from my understanding... tortoises are land-dwelling turtles, but people just use turtle as a general term I do think.
S/he probably LOVES munching those flowers. :)
