Nearly walking by it, I see a tail sticking out that looked like a dinosaur in hidding. Turned out to be this guy.
Not a lawn mower or a fish, but this guy was moseying down a country road near my house this afternoon. The turtle was about halfway between a beaver dam and a farm pond, each about mile away. It has been so rainy here that everything is saturated, so I don’t think the turtle is in any danger from being away from its water source. At this point I wouldn’t have been terribly surprised if I’d seen a fish on the road. I was glad to be in the truck because snapping turtles can be quite vicious when bothered. Their jaws can easily snap a finger. This one’s shell was between 10 and 12 inches in diameter. I had no intention of trying to measure it.
After following the storm front down from Brisbane we ended up at Snapper Rocks hoping to capture some lightning.
Well I captured some moody skies instead!!!
Hope you all had a great weekend of storm chasing :)

This is the back of Snapper Rocks in Coolangatta on the Gold Coast. Otherwise known as the Super Bank. A good time to capture this spot is on a high tide with a small swell, big enough to force the water over the rock ledge and get it to cascade over the pool edge. Combine these conditions with either sunrise or sunset. A big swell will still be good, although you will be constantly wiping spray mist off your filters etc.
