And was kinda weird...I rode past this owl and thought it was a roadkill, but then noticed it moved, so I stopped about 20 ft past it.

Got out and took this photo and thought it was weird that he just sat there on the side of the road looking left & right.

So I figured he must be hurt so I started walikng towards him. He just flew away!

Yes it looks hurt, nice capture anyway.
 
Happy you made it safely and are enjoying the first of your trip. Glad the owl was fine and obviously you are to. Enjoy!
 
We've got woodland turtles here in Georgia too. I was sitting at my piano when movement in the flower bed outside my window caught my eye. I keep my RX100M3 in a belt pouch so I ran outside and caught a couple of images. He/She was about the size of a large dinner plate. I was surprised at how fast they can move. Two shots and gone.

I didn't think I would ever have a reason to say this, but that is a beautiful shell. It is amazing what I have learned on this site and thank you for sharing your photo.

1st Box tortoise I've seen in years. Used to see them all the time in NJ as a kid.

Awesome photos. The sky is so beautiful. My father was born in Louisville, Ky and I have visited there in the past. I don't recall if you were going to be visiting that area. Also, do you shoot in black and white? I was just wondering. Enjoy and thank you for letting us share in your vacation.

I'm glad you're out there enjoying yourself and getting some nice shots. The owl may have hit a wire and was momentarily stunned. A painted turtle, perhaps?
