Female Desert Tortoise Covering Her Eggs — Image by kenne
HELMET GIRL
It’s spring.
Yellow wildflowers
dot the desert
landscape.
Strong winds
rain dusk
down on her.
She moves
at her own pace,
slow.
Having stored his sperm
from a casual meeting
last fall,
she carefully
selects a place —
digging
in the dry
desert soil
burying
a clutch of eggs.

Wow, what a beautiful creature! lovely picture, and writing. amazing! 🙂
Turtles have always appealed to me. Perhaps it is because I move at their same, slow pace.
Sometimes it’s the best way of getting things done.
