Taken at The Montezuma Audubon Society May 11, 2011. Poor little guy had a group of photographers walk right over top of him. How he survived without getting trampled is anyone's guess. Might explain the not so pleased expression. He was a slightly larger than a quarter. Turtle.

Picture of a green sea turtle taken in Klein Curacao. They come there to graze on the sea grass.

These Painted Turtles hang out on a dead tree at the Manasquan Reservoir, There are some AWESOME sized Turtles down the trails, but I usually scare them and they get even more red when the are bigger but these guys were too cute. and due to My leg not working so good tey were convenient for Me.

Trampled by Turtles perfoming at Virgin Mobile Free Fest 2012.

Not sure how I feel about all these baby turtles in a little bowl but at least they did seem happy enough. They serve as an example of what the Dehaze slider can do in Lightroom. See my blog at sydspix.wordpress.com/2015/10/03/how-to-use-the-dehaze-sl... for more info.

Where turtles come to nest, a oriental turtle dove rests!

The juvenile Oriental turtle dove or rufous turtle dove (Streptopelia orientalis) was perched in Adayar Broken Bridge beach. After shooting it's backside portrait, was astonished to see the misty effects in the background, which appeared as though this was shot in some hilly regions!

Saw this little guy while coming home. I think he (or she) left the stream on the side of the road to cross over to the other side, perhaps to lay eggs (I've seen turtles do just that in nearly the exact same spot in the past).

Taken near Shirleysburg, PA

She is our biggest Red-Eared Slider. She was found by a family on the lawn of an apartment complex, apparently thrown off a 2 story balcony after a family was fighting (most likely over her).

The family that found her, found me on a Yahoo group that I joined to learn more about them. They were desperate to find someone to care for her, as she would not eat anything.

We took her in, fed her some chicken and she gobbled it right up! Shortly after, she laid a clutch of eggs!

Lightning is 13" dorsal. Her head is the size of my 8 year old son's fist.

This young snapping turtle was crossing a path at a lakeside park, I was standing guard when a guy with a bike came along and he stopped got off his bike and "helped" the turtle on his way, and he dropped him-d-uh!!! He seemed okay but was moving a lot quicker after being dropped!
