The One About the Turtle.

During the tsuyu downpour, I was riding in my car on my town's one busy street when I saw this turtle about to be squashed by traffic. I, being me, decided it was better to stop the car and get drenched by rain than to witness such a tragic event. For this act of kindness I received quite a few stares from other drivers and praise from my sons, while the lucky reptile received a new lease on life and a lift to safety.

The face of gratitude.

Parting is such sweet sorrow.

Disappearing into the distance.
