Mississippi Mud Turtle Crossing Road

I photographed what I think is a Mississippi Mud Turtle crossing the auto tour road at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. I sat down in the road to get this shot while hand-holding my camera and lens.

I made sure this turtle made it safely across the road.
