T Is for Tortoise on February 21 in Alphabetaphilia

Giant Aldabra tortoise

Hi readers and writers,

Today's inspiring image from Creative Commons is the giant Tortoise, an image that invokes the idea of the Galapagos and the birth of evolution in Charles Darwin's young mind.  So let your mind give birth to five words starting with T, use in a sentence, and post in comments!

cheers,
Laura
