"Capturing a moment in the Pines" - New Jersey Pinelands

My friend Dana and I encountered this little eastern mud turtle wandering about one of the back roads and set it up for a couple of macro captures; it didn't really work out...the lighting was bad, the turtle wasn't happy, I got bit...so we brought it to a nearby pond and set it on its way...it's the journey; not always the destination...
