Terrapene carolina carolina
The photos are shown in reverse order. We came across this turtle near a path and it showed great interest in a companion's shoe; when he moved, the turtle changed direction in his quest to get to the shoe. The turtle accomplished this after about 15-20 minutes, looked the shoe over and then decided to move on.
