Turtle in the rain..

This turtle was stranded at low tide. We poured some water on its shell and body to stop it from drying out, but it was way too heavy for us to move.

According to others who came after us, the turtle's front-right flipper (not shown) was injured. Poor thing.

Hawksbill turtle glides through the water.

A turtle I found crossing Pughtown Rd. I brought it to where I work at Buttonwood Farm near Kimberton, PA.

This is a series of photos I took of it before I released it in a pond on a farm near where I picked it up a few hours earlier.

Found this shell belonging to Chelodina longicollis, known variously as the Snake-necked Turtle, Eastern Snake-necked Turtle or Common Snake-necked Turtle.

Location was a coastal lake that is closed to the sea most of the time. It's been more than 15 years since it was open briefly to the ocean (only for a couple of days) and that was the first time it's mouth was breached in around 25 years.

This turtle seems less than happy that I interrupted his stroll across the lawn for a close-up.

Tycho strikes a pose for the camera. He's a pretty turtle.

A Turtle feeds on coral, with a few big Angelfish grabbing the leftovers.

There are about 20 at the moment; they've been thinned a bit as I've seen as many as 50 here.

Tried to show her face, where you could really see she was an older turtle. Bob and I speculated probably older than us!!
