This African Tortoise was trying to make lil turtle babies here but the female was completely unfazed and continued to eat her lunch. This was taken at the Wildlife World Zoo in Litchfield Park, Az on 11/24/2006.
At the aquarium in Osaka, I spent a lot of time taking pictures of these turtles 'cause I loved how the colors came out.
Turtle,Turtles are reptiles of the order Chelonii or Testudines characterised by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs and acting as a shield. Turtle may refer to the chelonian order as a whole (American English) or to fresh-water and sea-dwelling chelonians

Nothing's Better Than A Good Stretch...
Green Cay Wetlands, Boynton Beach, FL
Changed the title after tv writer suggested it looks more like yoga than aerobics. I was thinking of the streching exercises, which I vaguely remember from my aerobics classes, never been to a yoga class... shame on me. Anyway, I do agree the title is better and in fact I kept changing it from "aerobics" to "yoga" back to "aerobics" before making the shot public... :-)
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.

(This version of IMG_7102 has been edited with Photoshop to remove the debris hanging out of the turtle's mouth.)
I had not realized until I processed the photos that this turtle has only one eye. Found on the horse trails at Burnaby Lake Park.
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.
Just off Catseye Beach, they are apparently drawn there due to all the tasty algae which grows in that particular bay.
Hamilton Island 2014
Found on a walk along a lake in Kentucky and brought home.
#15 Shell taken for the 52 in 2015 Challenge Group.
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).
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.
