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.
grandma & i had an exciting time cornering this snapping turtle, which turned out to be the most hostile turtle i have ever met. the moment i took out my camera he opened his mouth & started charging.
I took Tubby to a conservation area out past Warrenton, to release her. Last time I released a turtle, it turned around and tried to follow me. It was kind of heartbreaking. Tubby, on the other hand, appeared to be happy to be free. I even tried to offer her one last plate of food, but she wasn't interested. I'm guessing her chances of long term survival are maybe 40%. Kind of depressing odds, but I can't save all the turtles by keeping them in my backyard. And anyhow, when I found her, some boys from a private Chesterfield school had put her out on a road to see her get hit. So at least she has a chance this time.
Loggerhead Turtle skull - unfortunately poaching of turtles when they lay is rife with 1,100 killed on Boa Vista for bush meat and skins. Remains were very easy to find sadly.
this small little beauty swam among the sunblocker-blurred tourists...of course, we decided "to save it" and so i had the unique opportunity to take this shot with this cutie on my hand. "She" was released far apart on the reef

This turtle was roaming around our back yard for a few days, probably building a nest somewhere. Strange, because our yard is completely fenced in by 6 foot fences, so she must have rappelled in somehow.

Seeing a turtle underwater is always a treat. Seeing one up close and not spooking it into leaving, is an experience I shall cherish forever! This particular one pause from its meal, peeked at me, then went back to eating the sea grass which grows in abundance in Black Forest at Balicasag Island, Bohol.
*I had to do some editing in Lightroom for this particular shot. It was my first dive with the camera, and was testing out different white balance settings. Unfortunately, the original photo did not do the turtle justice.
