We watched him for a while, and my husband took about 20 photos (we get excited about wildlife). He, the turtle, not my husband, wandered off into the wet grass eventually. We didn't have the slightest urge to put him in a box with some grass.

Barn lot turtle
My husband was cleaning up the barn lot after the latest storm, and found this not-so-little guy wandering around. We have lots of Red Eared Slider turtles in the pond, but none has ever come up near the house. We don't know if he walked or floated up!

Re: Barn lot turtle
What a beauty! 
I have a large pond around my homestead filled with all sorts of wildlife...turtles, raccoons fishing for fish, frogs, toads, etc. But not once has a turtle come that far out of water.
Must have been a delightful experience!

It could have been looking for a place to lay it's eggs.

Re: Barn lot turtle
Ahhh, nice looking turtle and I love that you didn't take away it's freedom.
