the treat

the treat
On a hot and muggy day last summer, I was waiting for a bus connection when I noticed a man walking around the perimeter of a fenced garden. Every few paces, he would grab a handful of lettuce out of a shopping bag and stick it under the fence. After he left, my curiosity got the best of me and I ran across the street to see what he had been doing: this is what I found. :)
HFF everyone!

hummmmm .....une bonne salade !!

Annalia S. club has replied to Dominique 60 club
Thank you for the visit, Dominique. I think it is also a way to get moisture for them. I don't think I have ever seen them drinking and they probably get the water they need from eating moisture rich fresh vegetables, which are hard to find in the sweltering heat of summer.

Yes, just a bit of fence actually visible in the pic, but I thought it was a nice "fence story" :)

I really liked its ancient almond shaped eye and that bit of pink tongue ... And yes, there are kind people in the world, thankfully!
Thank you for the visit, Isabel. Hope you get some more rain (which will make for an even more spectacular spring flowering!)

Oh great! That's one hungry tortoise! HFF; Annalia, stay safe and well!

Annalia S. club has replied to Gudrun club
You too, Gudrun. I think it was also thirsty. They probably get the water they need from moisture rich fresh vegetables which are not easy for them to find in the summer.
Thank you for the visit and have a nice weekend!

Good capture Annalia, something not often seen on IP. A good weekend the best you can.

Annalia S. club has replied to HappySnapper
I don't think I ever really realised how beautiful they can be. I loved its armoured paw with the long "finger", its deep black almond shaped eye and that cute pink tongue curled up to drag the lettuce in so it could take a nice bite.
Thanks for your comment and have a nice weekend even if it is a bit homey :)

Thank you, Peter. I figured and uplifting "fence story" might be helpful right now ...
Hope you are enjoying a nice weekend even if it is home-bound!

Thank you, Diane. I love animals in general, but had never realised just how cute even a wrinkly old tortoise can look. I think the curled up pink tongue did it for me!
