Turtle Rescue

My wife, who is on her summer break from being a teacher assistant, joined me on my lunchtime walk today and while we were on a hill, we spotted this large turtle near the street. By the time we got down to where it was, it was trying to cross so I watched for cars/directed traffic while she did her part to encourage it to move a little quicker to the other side. 

Once safely across, we got our photos. A few minutes later, after we walked away, it apparently decided it didn't like that side of the street and crossed back. It was safely resting in the grass when we drove past.
