 There is something about being in nature that always makes me feel peaceful and grateful. I recently had a nice meeting with a tortoise, which reminded me of life's calmness. As I watched its slow motions, I couldn't help but admire its simplicity and beauty. I spent a lot of time with this tortoise, calmly studying how it walked, step by step as if time did not matter. The peace it created touched me. It was an ideal time to be still and present in the beauty of nature. These creatures are prevalent across Africa, particularly in Ghana, where they may be found in urban as well as rural environments. Despite their peaceful nature, tortoises have a tremendous presence that teaches us to be patient and persistent.   To share this experience with you, I took some shots of this gorgeous tortoise during our time together. I hope these photographs inspire you to appreciate nature's tremendous beauty as much as I did at that time. Sometimes all we need is to slow down and observe the world around us. Nature has a way of reminding us of basic yet deep truths in life. Enjoy these photos and may they inspire you to see the beauty in the calm and steady things around you.
