Box Turtle opening

I found this Box Turtle and saw it slowly come out of shell.  It was a little shy of the camera but I got a few pictures of it.  I think that this box turtle was 10 to 13 years old. I held the turtle and It was neat to see it coming out of it's shell. I was surprised that the turtle could move fast for its size. Here are a few pictures.

                                         

                             

O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all: the earth is full of your creatures. Psalm 104:24
