Turtle and reflection

Tiny turtle in an aquarium

Hillman Marsh. This North American turtle is considered to be an endangered species throughout much of its range.The most significant threats to the Blanding's Turtle are loss or fragmenting of habitat, motor vehicles, and raccoons and foxes that prey on eggs.

Illegal collection for the pet trade is also a serious threat. Blanding's Turtles are slow breeders - they don't start to lay eggs until they are in their teens or twenties - so adult deaths of breeding age adults can have major impacts on the species.

(I just noticed a Painted Turtle in the bottom left hand corner :-)

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.'

Being close to a large pound, we have many turtles that come on our property to lay their eggs. This one was on our driveway. Not 100% certain, but I think it's a Blanding Turtle, by the shape of it's shell, which looks like a helmet, and the strong yellow marking on her neck.

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

Some turtles snap and some are bored and yawn. After watching this turtle for some time, I'm convinced that both of us were a little bored, and this was a yawn.

Amazing moments when a turtle approaches that close. They are so soft and gentle. And so cute. She was softly whispering: "catch me".

in Quetico Provincial Park. After three very cold (for August) days, this day proved sunny and warm and as we paddled down Pickerel River, we noticed lots of these creatures sunning themselves near the shore.
