This Gopher tortoise was crossing the trail that lead to Caspersen Beach on the gulf coast of Florida as I was walking it with my family on a one day trip there. This is only one wildlife picture that I took in a short series of wildlife photographs. This wildlife picture was taken after putting down a load of beach gear, opening a belt pack and digging out my camera and turning it on. I am extremely glad that the Gopher Tortoise is a very slow moving reptile.
