A Pueblo Revival Style building constructed by the Civilian Construction Corps builders during the Great Depression, the Painted Desert Inn now functions as a museum and bookstore, with magnificent views over the Painted Desert of Navajo County, Arizona and the northeastern segment of Petrified Forest National Park.
The painted turtle (Chrysemys picta) is the most widespread native turtle of North America. Painted turtle: It lives in relatively slow-moving fresh waters, from southern Canada to northern Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. They have been shown to prefer large wetlands with long periods of inundation and emergent vegetation. This species is one of the few that is specially adapted to tolerate freezing temperatures for extended periods of time due to an antifreeze-like substance in their blood that keeps their cells from freezing. The adult painted turtle is 13–25 cm (5.1–9.8 in) long; the male is smaller than the female. The turtle's top shell is dark and smooth, without a ridge. Its skin is olive to black with red, orange, or yellow stripes on its extremities. The subspecies can be distinguished by their shells: the eastern has straight-aligned top shell segments; the midland has a large gray mark on the bottom shell; the western has a red pattern on the bottom shell.

"No doubt that lice, ticks, mites, and tapeworms are part of creation, much as we are. But, I'd rather see these at my neighbour's place than here at home"

Endemic to Indian subcontinent and some South-East Asian countries.
Another view of Oregon's Painted Hills, one of the state's scenic wonders. I've taken several images from this very spot as the light and seasons changed. In this particular image, I took a little liberty with the processing while hoping to avoid spoiling its natural beauty.
Thank you very much for stopping by. Always appreciated!
52 Weeks : Week 9 : 2020
------------------------------------
A few years back I picked up painting rocks when visiting a friend in Florida. The town where she lives is very active with a large contingency that paints rocks. I spent some time with her painting rocks and when I returned back home to New England I thought I would continue because it was fun and something I could do with my grand niece. Anyway, I painted a lot of rocks and now they sit in this beautiful, extremely old carved bowl, which is more interesting then these rocks, but the rocks are colorful and that is my project theme this week.
