The Turtle
1 sound
Turtles are living among us. Perhaps the oldest resident of the river, Painted Turtles have been roaming the earth for over 15 million years. They are a colorful member of our urban wilds that have observed the full evolution of humanity. In this piece, we experience the world from the perspective of a turtle, we speak to it while it's sunbathing, our dogs and children explore it's sights and scents, and it plunges beneath the surface for a reprieve.
