One of my friends tells me this is a terrapin, not a turtle.
Either way, it looked very pretty while it sunned itself...
Found this guy in the park. He wouldn't come out of his shell. Shy, I guess.

Sand Turtle from Fort Worth Zoo's reptile exhibit, one of the only animals there that was extremely active. He kept traversing the length of his cage, back and forth, at top (turtle) speed. We figured he had gone insane. At least he paused to have his picture taken.
Ever try to get a turtle to stick their head out of their shell so you can get a cute picture? I found this guy in the middle of a very BACK, back road, taking my poor dog Jerica swimming in the West River so she could cool off in yesterday's afternoon 93F heat. It truly proved to be "serendipity" seeing him, because I found a beaver pond, with not one, but TWO wonderful beavers swimming round and round like they were otters in a zoo. Thanks to this turtle, I found a VERY secret place teeming with critters and birds. I would NEVER have even looked here, much less stopped, unless he had been in my path. I am truly having a very glorious "picture-taking" Spring!!!
(Beaver photos a bit later -- they were way over-exposed since I was facing into the sun, so I'm trying to pick the best ones out of a hundred or so.)

June evening at Lake Maria State Park, MN. See a painted turtle in the grass and get out to get a few photos and expect it to run off like most painted turtles do, but it didn't. It was digging in the ground a hole and thought it was strange and then the first egg popped into the hole and watched her drop 8 eggs into the hole and then covered the hole and walked back to the lake.

Some friends are visiting and they wanted to see turtles, so we went and found some turtles @ 4 mile. This one was particularly mellow and we got to hang out for a while.

We swam with this turtle at a dive site called Gordon's Flynn, in the southern part of the Great Barrier Reef off Cairns, Australia. Photo taken by one of our fellow divers, Donald Cantlon.
This photo was modified from its original state through the use of the Orton Effect. This effect through use of blurring and exposure settings creates a dreamlike photo.
