A Pattern

Speedy the tortoise wanted to contribute to this week's post. Her shell has a beautiful pattern. However, you can't tell a tortoise's age by counting the rings. Some years they grow new rings, some years they don't. We found Speedy as a baby, so we know she's 15.

    Great photo! I love how that fabulous pattern just fills the frame. Yay for Speedy! (Lucky you got her to slow down and stand still for her portrait...)
