In the mid-morning on May 8, 2015 (Mother's Day), an ornate box turtle (Terrapene ornata) was crossing to the south side of George Foster Road near U.S. 380. I stopped and helped the turtle to the other side and snapped its beautiful reticulated shell.

Describe what happened. Example
"Mother Blanding had made her nest between the goldenrod and bluestem outside my window late last June.
By chance we were sitting on the porch when we noticed little blandings in the same location we had seen the mother take 2 months earlier."
