Wow, this is certainly a huge looking tortoise, Ken, with good detail and a marvelous blending in with its environment. Congratulations!

Excellent detail and sounds like you were in the right place at the right time! Is it as big as it looks? Congratulations on your win today!

I use to live in Springhill FL (1992-1997) and we had one that lived in a vaccant lot across the street. He/she would come over to my yard daily to eat the most brightly colored zinnias in the flower bed in my front yard. I never had many flowers for indoor decoration. LOL

Charlene; thanks for noticing my photo. You were lucky to have one so near. Last month I was fortunate to see another one crossing the road in the sanctuary, moving quite fast for a tortoise. Thanks again.
