Wood Turtle 2

During an afternoon of shooting on the banks of the Piscataquog river in New Boston, NH I came across this little critter. It was just standing (lying?) there, in the shade of a tree on the river bank.

 

Faithful to the stereotype it wasn't moving very fast and this left me plenty of time to take all the shots I wanted :)

 

Back at my computer I set out to identify its species and it turns out this is a Wood Turtle -- an endangered species. Cool!
