Thank you for taking the time to view, fave or comment!

I do not think I have ever paid attention to the fact that turtles have nostrils before I took some close-up images of turtles sunbathing near a pond at the San Diego State University campus. 😂

Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center, Austin, TX. Sony nex5r and Schneider Kreuznach Componar 50/4.5 enlarger lens. The turtles have grown accustomed to the passers by at the entrance to the Center, and they seem to enjoy their theatrics.

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.'

Blanding's turtle, Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada.

Got out on the pontoon today, I even got to drive.

One of the things we saw was this Blanding's turtle sitting at the edge of the marsh.

Emydoidea blandingii

Blanding's Turtles live in shallow water, usually in large wetlands and shallow lakes with lots of water plants.

It is not unusual, though, to find them hundreds of metres from the nearest water body, especially while they are searching for a mate or traveling to a nesting site.

Blanding's Turtles hibernate in the mud at the bottom of permanent water bodies from late October until the end of April.

Kaua'i, Hawaii, Green sea turtle

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)

Big Island, Hawaii

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.

Well, I saw this Great Blue Heron out on a tiny 'island', so I took the photo.

It was only during processing that I saw the turtles (I count almost 30!) at his feet, OMG!

Click to enlarge, it's cool!

Thanks for looking, etc.:)

I felt that these Krefft's River Turtles were re-enacting some scene from reptilian history for the camera. One of the dominant species of freshwater turtles on the Queensland coastal strip and inland, they were gathered in large numbers in the lakes of Billabong Sanctuary.

The turtle swam out from the lake and chased away some ducks that were sitting near.

looking for mushrooms and all of a sudden this turtle appears.

This photo was taken at the Isla Mujeres turtle rescue centre in 2006.
