Just across the road from our condo is a place that several turtles live and I like to swim from Beach I to Beach II and spend some time watching them.
Snapping Turtle - seriously? Stuff actually grows on them, so cool.

This snapping turtle had just layed her eggs in a hole she dug in the middle of a gravel pathway. I did not have my camera the day we found her digging... This was the next day and she seems to be guarding it. Note the out of focus deer fly on her brow..
This young snapping turtle went about 10 inches across the shell, weighed around 2.5 lbs. I photographed him on the road at Bedford Mills, then carefull picked him up and moved him before he was hit. Note the duck-weed and filamentous algae covering his carapace. My wife did not appreciate my "turtle stink" when I got back in the car!
Every summer this guy pays us a visit. We don't know where he comes from or where he goes for the winter. He just stops by and has a little lunch, then moves on. I like the red spots on his arms.
These water turtles have been seen in pet shops for years. The red marking right behind the ear is a very noticable distinction on these turtles. They are commonly seen in lakes, ponds and wetlands. The females are larger and can reach a shell length of 11 inches. I found this one out in a field a few hundred feet from the lake I was near. This turtle was dry and covered in dirt, so I carried it to the lake. This location was in Lawrenceburg, IN.

A beautiful adult male Eastern Box Turtle found crossing a road early in the morning after a night of heavy thunderstorms. During the heat of the summer months, this species and other turtles often estivate to avoid the hot and dry conditions. But heavy downpours can bring the turtles out where they search for prey and mates.
Another picture from my favourite local walk, there's usually something new to see, this is the first time I've seem a turtle in my patch of the New River.
This picture of a male Painted Turtle was taken on a small pond near the Grand River in Brantford, Ontario.
It can be determined that this Painted Turtle is a male because its front claws are longer than its back claws.
At first, she didn't want to come out of her shell, but then I told her that someone here really loves turtles and would probably like to see her, so she finally said, "Ummm...okay."

I am a turtle magnet. They find me in strange places. I have saved well over 1,000 from being ran over or from controlled burns in our national forests here in Florida. This little guy, Wife and I took a walk and he was then the size of a half dollar.. now he is HUGE.. he was on our porch just waiting for me. Somehow they know that I love the little guys!
He now lives in about a 100 gallon tank.. Wife takes him out and pets him daily.. we make special food for him.. Just like all of our pets.. he is spoiled.
