I'm seeing more Texas Tortoise this year than I've seen in about five years.  They were place on the threatened species list in 1977.

Tortoise on a mission! It's always good to see these little guys.

I like the low perspective and catching it in motion. So interesting to see how it's walking on its claws.

Great job of catching this tortoise on a mission, not often you see them on the move!
