The Tiny Tortoise

I returned from taking Little Bit for a walk the other day to find this little guy (or girl) lounging around in my driveway. 

Cozy as he looked, I didn’t think it was the best place for such a small thing to have a nap so relocated him to the back patio.  He insisted on finishing the nap.

Good Morning sunshine!  Look who decided to say hello

It’s probably hard to tell from the previous photos, but just to give you an idea of how small my little friend was, he fit nicely into the palm of my hand.

After doing some research, I’m pretty sure it is a baby Gopher Tortoise.  This is an endangered species, so we had to say our goodbyes.  Bon Voyage Tiny Tortoise.
