News flash: it’s Turtle Day at the Blytheville Zoo! Come on down, and you can ride the giant tortoise (if Finlee will ever let someone else have a turn.)
This picture is for the theme “My newest doll” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. She is Fighting Milk Saranghae. I chose the name Finlee for her because it starts with the same two letters as her stock name, making it easy to remember!
Are you wondering about the turtle? I love how he looks! Would you believe that he is from a coloring page? He was part of a free page offer by a publisher in a coloring group on Facebook; it’s from a book by Khatiba Press on Etsy. I colored him and cut away the background on the page, so Finlee could sit on his back. Here’s the coloring page: flic.kr/p/2oDER9m

I found it in my garden a couple of weeks ag.o :) I didn't want to keep it so I let it go and took a few photos instead!
So...I went to a museum thing the other day and they had a HUGE fish tank with this cutie here...I was in awe of the fish...and then I decided after I saw Fredward (the turtle here) that I really wanted a pet turtle...haha
My mom wasn't exactly pleased with my confession of that...haha...apparently I have fish and that should be enough to take to the dorms...since I can't take my cats or my dog...or horses...foo
I saw this lovely little painted turtle right after taking the previous shot of the Chestnut Sided Warbler.
These are very colourful turtles. This one was enjoying a spot of sunbathing on a rock in the water.
Thank you for all of your comments. Positive and constructive criticisms are very much welcomed and appreciated
It must be turtle mating season, as I have been finding them on a regular basis over the past few weeks. This Eastern Box Turtle was found on the entrance road to my local nature park - Palmyra Cove. He (or she) was not shy and did not retreat into its shell as I approached. Soooo, I got out my macro lens and decided to do an ultra close profile shot. This is the result.
Enjoy the evening!
Got this turtle during my walk yesterday. Had come out of the lake and was soaking some sunlight I suppose.
Allowed me to take shots at it from pretty close, 1m may be - very unusual, typically they are quite alert within the reed and dive once they spot you from 7-8 meters.
Recently I had seen someone post such a turtle captured in North America and I commented we had almost the same here but with no red on their heads... well turns out they do have the red, too.
Knowing that we have cared for turtles in the past, our vet phoned us recently to say a baby turtle had been handed in by a member of the public. We kept it for a few days to make sure it was feeding okay, before releasing it in a safe place.
It is a Long-necked Turtle, probably a hatchling.

The Snapping Turtle is the official turtle of New York State.
We spotted this turtle on our lawn. When we got closer, we were surprised by his size, shell and tail. I took some photos and we went to the local library. The librarian told us he was about 100 years old! She said he/she was probably looking for water. We were planning on helping him/her get to a pond near our house, but when we returned, there was no sign of the turtle.
