There is only one place I know where I can consistently find these large turtles. I did not find out what they were called until just today.I had thought they were a larger variety of a Painted Turtle.But there coloration is different and they have grooved in maps on their shell rather than the smoother more green Painted Turtle.

"Get the Balance Right" by Depeche Mode
There's more besides the joyrides
Little house in the countryside
Understand, learn to demand
Compromise, and sometimes lie
Get the balance right
Get the balance right
Be responsible, respectable
Stable but gullible
Concerned and caring
Help the helpless
But always remain
Ultimately selfish
This image is of a logging road near the town of Fernie, British Columbia, Canada.
I post his image as a homage to the power and majesty of raw nature. As I hiked this road, I was surrounded by old forest, some red cedars hundreds of years old. I carried bear spray, understanding to whom this land really belongs.
I felt alone and not. Being immersed in nature allowed me to "live in the moment." Worries and negative thoughts were banished. Peace and hope prevailed.
Not only do they have the great views in the Black Hills of South Dakota, but there are also some pretty spectacular homes.
This section of the Bruce Trail and also part of the Bruce Peninsula National Park is called Halfway Log Dump.
Three of the many turtle logs I photographed last weekend. On the middle one, I like the way the last turtle seems to be taking an interest in the nutria. In the lower one, I believe I can count three turtle species on the log - the ever-so-abundant and invasive Red-Eared Sliders, the native Western Pond Turtle (The ones with no color or stripes), and I feel pretty certain the big turtle number three from left to right, is a native Western Painted Turtle. I am not 100% certain, but the lack of red-ear, plus the numerous yellow stripes on the head say it is. If only I could be sure. I always feel the Western Painted Turtle is the holy grail of turtle-sighting in our ponds here.

The Olde Washing Log at Earlswood Lakes - no ceremony here , just hop on and wash away !!
A bacon bap time and a few snaps while we were here . I did get a shot of at least ten Canadian Geese flying in head on from the top lake , but they were coming in low and got terribly mixed up in the background - so I was a bit disappointed that shot was not so good . However , working only with the 18-135 lens , the log bathroom was a better prospect with so many makes of birds having a wash .
I tried to compose this log boom as if it were a maze so one could follow the blue. Help, I can't get out!

Taken of the South Boulder Creek above the Moffat Tunnel. Won't be long before the whole creek will be encased in ice!
Mactaquac Provincial Park, New Brunswick, Canada. I shot this in shutter priority, but in hindsight, I should’ve shot this manual. By shooting SP, my aperture was wide open and my logs got super blurry and out of focus. Ah well!
It was snowing heavily when we left Golden, BC.
This is the tail end of this series from Revelstoke. Thanks for coming along!
It was the pastel colored reflections in the water that caught my attention, the rest was composing to accentuate them.
Happy 2016

I have previously posted a bit similar photo but was endlessly unhappy with the position of the wooden log. This is an improved composition to the previous one, now with the leading lines converging at the Cappella. It also reveals the chopped wood that adds so much to the sphere.
Amongst the colourful southern Tuscany countryside beside the village of Vitaleta, lies a charming little Chapel of the Madonna di Vitaleta. One of the most photographed churches in Tuscany, this mystical building used to be the home of a Renaissance statue of the Madonna sculpted by the artist, Andrea della Robbia in 1590. Built in the middle of a hill, this spectacular attraction was restored in 1184 by the architect Giuseppe Partini and was recently classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Dotted across this magnificent countryside are many peaceful holiday villas and luxury accommodation to stay in and soak in the undisturbed natural beauty of the area.
Tarn Hows is an area of the Lake District National Park, containing a picturesque tarn, approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) northeast of Coniston and about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northwest of Hawkshead. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the area with over half a million visitors per year in the 1970s and is managed by the National Trust.
Tarn Hows is fed at its northern end by a series of valley and basin mires and is drained by Tom Gill which cascades down over several small waterfalls to Glen Mary bridge: named by John Ruskin who felt that Tom Gill required a more picturesque name and so gave the area the title 'Glen Mary'.
