Tartan Turtle

My wife and I were walking through the neighborhood park and were delighted to hear three young boys come running up with delightful cries, "We found a turtle! We got a turtle!" It was a beautiful delight to share this with them as a complete stranger.

Equally amazing is the detail in which these turtles are made. The face of this little guy looks like a most detailed tartan (I think he is a Ferguson). The red behind his eye is brilliant. What is even more remarkable is that the Creator of this turtle made him uniquely like this. We can recognize this fellow as a turtle and yet we can also distinguish him from other turtles if we know him well enough.
