I love seeing the turtles basking in the sun on a winter's day at the local park in Portimao, Portugal.
Kind thanks to everyone who has taken the time to view, fave or comment on my photo. It is very much appreciated!

Thank you for taking a look.
A new generation of turtles appeared finally in our garden, we haven't seen new little turtles for years, we think maybe some predator like a bird or something was getting them once they get out of the eggs, while their shells are still soft... :(
this time my father found these cute little ones and kept them safe in a closed place until they grow up and their shells become hard..
as I've mentioned before, there are many of them in our garden that I've lost the count :)
Happy Turtling Weekend!!
see your photos soon...
probably an enthusiastic shutter speed for this guy. Only about 2 inches in width, he popped onto a branch in the water a few yards from my spot. After a look around for about 15 minutes, he headed back into the water.
This green turtle was one of 20 this particular day that crawled on the Hookipa Park beach on Maui, Hawaii to rest. The turtle had just come ashore and was about to drop its head to sleep.
The green turtle is listed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Major nesting is done in the French Frigate Shoals but some goes on right here in HI and we ran into one ranger going on a 'turtle nest watch.'
Race Car Bob was a Kansas box turtle we found in our garage after we forgot to close the garage door one autumn night. We kept him with us for a month and then let him go back to nature. He sure was a funny fellow.
While looking for garden supples, I came across this display. At first, I thought this was an elaborate joke being April Fools Day but eventually the turtles moved. I guess living in a warm climate allows for doing something like this. I never knew Home Depot was a pet store too. :-)

I was leaving local park when this big fella decided to cross my path. Made sure I stopped traffic so it could make it safely across the road. (Cell phone capture)

Two Red-eared Slider Turtles bask themselves in the warm sunshine. I'm seeing more and more rather large turtles, some appear to have been well taken care of which leads me to believe someone has let them go in the canal due to their size.
