Messy Times
This very messy looking turtle appears to have just climbed out of mucky yucky bottom of the lake for a bit of warming sunshine.
There were hardly any turtles sunning on logs during this trip to the arboretum, most were swimming around in the lake, so naturally when I spotted this one posing so nicely I had to gab a shot or two.
Best guess is this is a Yellow Bellied Slider. A positive ID would be most welcome.
