"I went on a long ramble through the woods above our farm, gathering chanterelles and chicken of the woods and taking photos. I returned via the ridge on the back side of our farm, bushwhacked down to the creek, and found a large tortoise shell." "Was it alive?" he wondered. "I lifted the edge of the shell, and his head came out and looked at me," Emlen co...
