Unexpected visitor

When I hear Olive scratching, she has most likely found a bug to play with. Not this time. A handsome box turtle came visiting. I don't know if it's the same one Olive found in the back yard last fall, but she discovered this one tucked up against the window outside the front entry room.

The turtle must have climbed the two short steps from the side garden, the only route to reach the window. It hissed at me when I picked it up and then retreated into it's shell when I moved it to a shadier spot beneath a bush. Maybe it wasn't finished visiting with Olive.
