Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did.
So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. --- Mark Twain

A picture from a bigger road.. At first I passed it, but then stopped and drove back, somehow the green snake seemed familiar. This picture has been taken through the bus window, I did not want to get out because there is always a small chance that maybe it actually pretends to be dead. And it is able to move quite quickly.

Next a turtle appears from a side road

The turtle moves surprisingly fast towards the car and...

...tries to climb under the car ... but does not fit. And does not intend to go back either. It is 30 degrees outside and a bit sheltered under the car. I drive a few yards back and help the animal back to the right direction.
