Gopher Tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) are native to Florida and other southeast states. I only found a few of them when I was wandering around, but I was always surprised at how quick they were at retreating into hiding once they spotted me.

A handful of more photos from my visit to Paris in 2019…
Just because who couldn’t use an octet of octos now and then? From Washington, Florida, and Bali…
