I took this in June at camp during the pond study. We were supposed to be catching frogs with these nets but my best friend and I were just taking pictures of the frogs in the bucket. Either someone found a turtle or someone caught it. It was super tiny. We should name it! Tell me what you think(:

Found this turtle basking in the middle of my front lawn today. Can anyone ID for me? Cooter? Painted?

Found this turtle in our yard.

I have always been fond of frogs, snake, toads, lizards, and turtle. Box turtles top the list - they are a marvel - I love the way lock-down in their shell. This is an Eastern Box Turtle. I don't see these as often as I use to.

This large alligator snapping turtle decided to cross our lead track, and after rolling over top of it, we stopped switching to check it out. She was fine, just taking a shortcut to the stream, probably looking for sites to lay eggs.

Another view showing the whole turtle. Lighting was with a single flash bounced off of a white umbrella. I like the effect, but it sure is cumbersome. I would set the turtle down, and it usually was out of its shell and crawling away from me before I could get the rig set up. I once saw professional photographers work in Costa Rica, and they took most of their reptile shots in a little portable studio, stocked with native vegetation. It was basically a folding box partly open on one side and above. That way they could set up the lighting just right, and it still looked "natural".
