Sammy

This is Sammy, he is older than 30 years but not sure by how much. Surprisingly tortoises are quite fast when they get going. Sammy has been left behind while Annika has gone back-packing, just because he can't surf :-)

It looks like I missed some great photos while I was out of town. This one is excellent. Great detail on Sammy's face.

He sounds like and old man, but I understand they have extremely long life spans.

Great shot. I like the framing, it makes it seem like he's taking his time to get there.
