Turtle Egg 05 by Jason

June evening at Lake Maria State Park, MN. See a painted turtle in the grass and get out to get a few photos and expect it to run off like most painted turtles do, but it didn't. It was digging in the ground a hole and thought it was strange and then the first egg popped into the hole and watched her drop 8 eggs into the hole and then covered the hole and walked back to the lake.

First time I've seen a turtle (or tortoise) in a while. After getting camera flashed in the face I don't know if this one will return to my yard anytime soon.

River Cooter by Josh Sanders

River Cooter

It's hard to make out the actual size from these photos, but this guy's shell was about 13 inches long. Head to tail he is probably closer to 18 inches.

Didn't want to mess with him too much as we weren't certain if he was a snapping turtle or not (he's not; snapping turtles look a whole lot meaner). Went inside for a bit as humidity was hovering around a billion percent and when we checked again he had vanished.

I guess this is probably a "Red-eared Slider", as it looks the same as my last turtle shot, which I looked up at the time.

It's been a very long time since my last upload. Life sure has gotten in the way of photography for almost a year. I suppose getting married and buying a house will do that to a girl ;)

As I am going through and purging photos I no longer want to keep I stumbled upon this picture I took last year while hiking. I titled this photo Frank because, well, he looks like a Frank to me. Quite an inquisitive fella who didn't mind me getting a closer look at him. It's not often you see turtles this large in our area...So as you can imagine I was pretty excited to find this fella (or he found me).

I hope to be back to shooting more regularly in the coming weeks :)

Glyptemys insculpta

August, 2012. Michigan.

An adult seen basking along a beautiful river in northern Michigan. This species is semi-aquatic and spends much of its time in terrestrial habitats including forests, meadows, and pastures. Stream degradatation, nest predation, and habitat loss has reduced its numbers in Michigan but is still found in large numbers in good habitat. The Wood Turtle is listed as a Species of Special Concern in Michigan.

Caught these 4 amigos basking in the warm spring sunshine. I believe these are Red-eared Sliders which are not native to BC but come from pet stock.

Weeping Turtle by addicted2pawn

Loggerhead Turtle (Caretta Caretta) coming ashore to lay eggs at Vounaki, Kyparissia Bay, Greece, July 2000. This turtle appears to be crying, whilst some might like to attach some emotional story to this, its probably just excreting salt or has something in its eye.
