Painted turtles lazily lounging in the warm sun.
Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
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.
On my walk through the woods to find warblers I nearly stepped on this turtle hatchling. Less than 2 inches and covered in mud, it looks like he just crawled out of his nest. I don't know which species, maybe red-eared slider?

A common garden bird throughout much of Asia, found in open forests, fields, and parks; introduced to several regions around the world. Often tame and approachable. Brown overall with a rosy breast and a unique white-spotted black nape patch. Plumage shows slight regional variation: western birds have dark centers to wing feathers, lacking in eastern birds. Turtle-doves are larger, have black centers to wing feathers and stripes rather than spots on the neck. Coos loudly and often: โcoo-a-rooooโ. (eBird)

A familiar bird to us but welcome nevertheless. We saw or heard this pretty dove most days during our time in Singapore, usually deep in the trees or on the ground.

I am not 100% sure if I identified this properly but I think it's a painted Turtle...Thank you very much for viewing my photo ! I truly appreciate any faves, comments and awards! ๐ข
Not sure why this turtle was surrounded by fall colors in May. Red-eared Slider, Trachemys scripta elegans, lounging in the lake at Seabourne Creek Nature Park, Rosenberg, TX.

There is only one place I know where I can consistently find these large turtles. I did not find out what they were called until just today.I had thought they were a larger variety of a Painted Turtle.But there coloration is different and they have grooved in maps on their shell rather than the smoother more green Painted Turtle.
How is the weather?

A new generation of turtles appeared finally in our garden, we haven't seen new little turtles for years, we think maybe some predator like a bird or something was getting them once they get out of the eggs, while their shells are still soft... :(
this time my father found these cute little ones and kept them safe in a closed place until they grow up and their shells become hard..
as I've mentioned before, there are many of them in our garden that I've lost the count :)
Happy Turtling Weekend!!
see your photos soon...
For Crazy Tuesday's theme "low key".
Inspired by, and in memory of Jamie Leigh Meyer.
The turtle was purchased from a beach vendor in Punta Cana Dominican Republic.
no turtles were harmed in the creation of this photo album-- they were animal print tiles
ANSH scavenger20 "An animal print pattern"
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.
In this approximately 45 year old female box turtle we see vividly the dappled sunlight falling through the oak trees onto the forest floor. This animal lives in a wooded ravine between housing developments in a major metropolitan area. I hesitate to interfere with their lives even to the extent of picking one up for a photo- one must always place the creature exactly where it was found.
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.'
A green sea turtle seen here was feeding on algae on the lavarock in shallow water at Kahaluu Beach Park, Big Island of Hawaii. Observers are asked to stay 10 feet away at least so zoomed the shot. The turtles don't come up for air very often and when they do you have a few seconds to take the shot.

Tartaruga_La Madre Terra
"Antica come il nostro pianeta, longeva, saggia, resiliente, feconda, abitante di acqua e terra, la Tartaruga simboleggia la Grande Madre, generatrice di tutte le creature,. Nello sciamanesimo di tutto il mondo rappresenta la connessione con la Terra, sia come pianeta sia come elemento, il radicamento e i mondi sotterranei. ... La Tartaruga ci ricorda che siamo figli della Terra, che รจ a questa Grande Madre che dobbiamo rivolgerci quando abbiamo bisogno di un sostegno, di un aiuto."
Turtle_Mother Earth
"As ancient as our planet, long-lived, wise, resilient, fruitful, inhabitant of water and land, the Turtle symbolizes the Great Mother, generator of all creatures. In shamanism all over the world it represents the connection with the Earth, both as planet both as an element, the rooting and the underground worlds. ... The Turtle reminds us that we are children of the Earth, that it is to this Great Mother that we must turn when we need support, help."
