Turtle time - Galapagos Islands
Today will be my 12th consecutive day at work. I am ready for some time off and hopefully a little peaceful nature time this weekend.
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...
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.
