Sights from a Run

I’ve been a bit melancholy lately, so take this post with a grain of salt, but there were two sad sights from my lunch run today that only encouraged my mood:

1. A flattened full-size turtle (or tortoise?) on Route 30. They’re such beautiful creatures that it’s hard to see one squashed after a losing confrontation with a semi. Apparently he was just trying to go from one wetlands to another – alas, Route 30 was in his way.

2. The remnants of a burned out house, with an exposed upper story. Burned out buildings are always a bit eerie, but this one had a lonely scorched chimney standing sentinel over the rest of the charred structure.
