and a beautiful carpet of green...
Even on a grey day, this place was gorgeous... but I will go back on a warmer day so we can sit and take in the surroundings and see the turtles!
Managed a trip to the Yorkshire Dales for these Turtle Doves before I disappear for a few days. They kept there distance, so unfortunately they are large crops.
Many thanks as always for your comments and faves.

Thank you for taking the time to view, fave or comment!
No turtles anywhere near as this dove was refueling for its long way to the wintering grounds that might be as far away as Sri Lanka.

no turtles were harmed in the creation of this photo album-- they were animal print tiles

Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center, Austin, TX. Sony nex5r and Schneider Kreuznach Componar 50/4.5 enlarger lens. The turtles have grown accustomed to the passers by at the entrance to the Center, and they seem to enjoy their theatrics.
This green turtle was one of 20 this particular day that crawled on the Hookipa Park beach on Maui, Hawaii to rest. The turtle had just come ashore and was about to drop its head to sleep.
The green turtle is listed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Major nesting is done in the French Frigate Shoals but some goes on right here in HI and we ran into one ranger going on a 'turtle nest watch.'
I came across this fellow in Fort Washington State Park.
Thank you, so much, for looking!

"Like sea turtles in the vast ocean, we must trust the currents of life, embracing every wave with patience and grace, knowing our journey is as boundless as the sea."
Don't let that smiley face fool you. These turtles can be feisty when out of water. Snapping turtles roamed the earth with the dinosaurs and have a strong bite but contrary to popular belief they cannot bite your finger off. They range from Canada to Florida. Their numbers may be in decline in some areas where trapping is legal. If you really want to get up close and personal with this snapper, view in Large! Didn't need 5 frames a second for this capture.
