An ordinary walk on a day that vacillated between threatening skies and hot muggy sunshine yielded a special surprise. We hadn't expected to see box turtles for a few weeks. They are extremely shy creatures and usually don't appear until all traces of cold and damp are gone. And if we do find them its usually after extensive searching in the tall weeds. But there they were in the middle of the path in the act of making more box turtles. It seemed somewhat pornographic to photograph them but in the interest of science. . .
