A photo that I took of a turtle on a log at our pond. At first I didn't know exactly what species it was, but then after asking on a message board I figured out that it was a Florida Redbelly, even though I live in SC.
A baby sea turtle sits in nurturing hands moments before being released into the ocean off the coast of Boca Raton, Fla., Sept. 5, 2013. The staff at the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center reached out to the Coast Guard to assist with the sea turtles release into the ocean. U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Mark Barney.
This huge turtle (about 10-12 inches long) was crossing the road, so I stopped and put on my blinkers and tried to assist him. He wasn't liking my help, but I didn't want to leave him in the middle of the road. Along came another driver, who stopped to help and ended up picking up the turtle (quickly) and moving to the other side of the road. The turtle plodding down a small embankment and into the lake.
Frick! (Yellowbelly Slider) actually let me get close and take photos of him basking. Usually if you go near the tank when they are basking they slide off into the water.
never knew turtles could have such long legs!! as i took the photo, realized, photography at this cage was illegal. oops! so no time to get a better photo

Turtles Island
I got this idea from a flickr friend, Lenny, although he did a much better job with his red ear slider (we call them streaker heads down here) than I did with mine. Thanks Lenny!
