Turtle time - Galapagos Islands

Today will be my 12th consecutive day at work. I am ready for some time off and hopefully a little peaceful nature time this weekend.

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.

Wildwood lake, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

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.'

Thank you, so much, for looking!

Blanding's turtle, Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada.

 

Got out on the pontoon today, I even got to drive.

 

One of the things we saw was this Blanding's turtle sitting at the edge of the marsh.

 

Emydoidea blandingii

Blanding's Turtles live in shallow water, usually in large wetlands and shallow lakes with lots of water plants.

It is not unusual, though, to find them hundreds of metres from the nearest water body, especially while they are searching for a mate or traveling to a nesting site.

Blanding's Turtles hibernate in the mud at the bottom of permanent water bodies from late October until the end of April.

The turtles were really enjoying basking in the sun at Kohler-Andrae State Park Tuesday afternoon.

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.

Seen @ John Bryan State Park, SW Ohio. Spring 2024.

 

Being close to a large pound, we have many turtles that come on our property to lay their eggs. This one was on our driveway. Not 100% certain, but I think it's a Blanding Turtle, by the shape of it's shell, which looks like a helmet, and the strong yellow marking on her neck.

The turtle swam out from the lake and chased away some ducks that were sitting near.

looking for mushrooms and all of a sudden this turtle appears.

good to go

This little guy is at a place where they rehabilitate wild animals that are found, the place has been there since my kids were little, I guess it's a good thing that most of the cages were empty, only 4 or so occupied, means less in need of help... my Grandson enjoyed the trek around and up to the park... so it was cool, made for some good pics...

Some turtles snap and some are bored and yawn. After watching this turtle for some time, I'm convinced that both of us were a little bored, and this was a yawn.

Two Northern Map Turtles climb out on a large rock to get some sun.

in Quetico Provincial Park. After three very cold (for August) days, this day proved sunny and warm and as we paddled down Pickerel River, we noticed lots of these creatures sunning themselves near the shore.
