June 5, Block Island, RI. This snapping turtle had just laid a large quantity of eggs in an embankment and was ready to return to the adjacent marsh. My grandson loves animals of all kinds.
SD40-2 #6389 & SD45-2 #6659 add muscle to a westbound freight with gondolas of slabs on the head end at Cresson, PA, March 7, 1992. The bridge in the background carries State Route 53 over the Conrail mains. Just beyond the bridge is the abutment for a previous bridge, long since replaced, which makes an excellent perch for viewing the action along the Pittsburgh Line.

We found this snapping turtle crawling through a grassy ditch towards Palmer Boulevard, away from the Celery Fields wetlands. It may have been a female seeking a nest site. It had a rather placid disposition, but then again, we were not harassing it or approaching too closely. A few minutes later we realized that a county employee on a tractor was mowing the grass between the sidewalk and road pavement. Presumably he saw the turtle and mowed around it because after we completed the 3-4-mile loop and were walking back to our car, the turtle was no where to be seen. We had seen a large dead turtle on the banks of drainage canal, but we'd like to think this individual survived for another day (but I can't help but think of the turtle-and-highway scene in "Grapes of Wrath.")

Taken at Snapper Rocks, Gold Coast. There were several other photographers on this morning capturing the colorful sunrise. I like the bokeh from the 135mm lens at f2.

These big snappers make the climb from the swamp, to the shoulder of the road, to lay their eggs in the gravel. But every year, the racoons get to the eggs before they can hatch. So sad. I guess that's just part of the circle of life.
I have just returned from a diving trip to Tanzania, where I have begun learning underwater photography for the first time - it's a lot harder than it looks!! On the reefs in Chole Bay, there were huge schools of unicornfish, surgeonfish, emperors, soldierfish, snapper, sweetlips, amberjacks and mackerels that you let you swim right up into them - an amazing experience! This was taken on one of the best dive sites - The Pinnacle leading into Kinasi Pass.
