Turtles with reflections, taken at Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Florida.

Some turtles snap and some are bored and yawn. After watching this turtle for some time, I'm convinced that both of us were a little bored, and this was a yawn.

in Quetico Provincial Park. After three very cold (for August) days, this day proved sunny and warm and as we paddled down Pickerel River, we noticed lots of these creatures sunning themselves near the shore.

Got a couple of really close up shots of this turtle at the Elk Grove Park, California. No idea what I'm going to do with these – I could make 4' x 6' prints!

Another view of the turtle I rescued yesterday. He was on a sidewalk near a pond heading for a busy street. Put him back by the water and off he went.

We found him near a little pond.

The only turtle species that is endemic to Central Europe. Otherwise it can be found in Europe, Turkey and Morocco, as well.

 

Loves slow moving waters and ponds. They can live up 40-60 years long.

 

In many European countries they are endangered as their natural habitat of wetlands is shrinking.

 

In recent years they are also threatened by the fact that there are more and more Red-eared sliders (a turtle species native to the southern US and Mexico but often kept as pet in Europe) end up in the wild and behave as an invasive species against the local pond turtle.

Walking of bike I thought and enclosure of a school where 3 land turtles were, this bigger, another less and other young. Of a gap in around woven wires I took this photo. It seems to me quite ancient...

Here is a good photography subject...it does not move around too much! hehehe

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

 

Spotted a great shot across a little inlet...sunning turtles.

 

Unfortunately, the best image got away as I moved a bit closer. There were SEVEN turtles on the log, arranged almost precisely in ascending size order. Two of the larger ones plopped into the water just as I was beginning to photograph. ** drat **

These were on the North Shore of Oahu Hawaii on the last stop of our Oahu Photography Tour

In the backyard

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

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.

Heading for some sunshine and a little warmth.
