I haven't seen too many turtles this year. Maybe it was a bit too hot for them. They always come out on damp and muggy days like this morning was.
This one went into hiding as soon as he (she?) saw me approching with the camera.
I imagine his legs were pulled in bc he was scared of the Otter which was in the same pond! Taken at Muscatatuck NWR in Jackson Co, IN.
This large common snapping turtle was spotted crossing the road at Mingo National Wildlife Refuge in Missouri.

Someone brought their new turtle into the office today. I think I'm in love.
I think this belongs on cuteoverload.
Believe this is a sun turtle and yes, he is sunning himself. I took it because of the reflection in the calm waters in the cove.
We were lucky enough to see a sea turtle while snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef. Not sure which species we saw; there are six species that live in the reef.
these sea turtles in Mexico are huge, my first real encounter with them, and when we swam with them at Akumal Beach, down the coast from where we stayed near Xcaret, you got a real sense of their being and an amazing feeling to be snorkelling above these wonderful animals as they swam along the bottom of the sea bed, occasionally surfacing for air.
