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.
grandma & i had an exciting time cornering this snapping turtle, which turned out to be the most hostile turtle i have ever met. the moment i took out my camera he opened his mouth & started charging.

Seeing a turtle underwater is always a treat. Seeing one up close and not spooking it into leaving, is an experience I shall cherish forever! This particular one pause from its meal, peeked at me, then went back to eating the sea grass which grows in abundance in Black Forest at Balicasag Island, Bohol.
*I had to do some editing in Lightroom for this particular shot. It was my first dive with the camera, and was testing out different white balance settings. Unfortunately, the original photo did not do the turtle justice.
