Sand Turtle from Fort Worth Zoo's reptile exhibit, one of the only animals there that was extremely active. He kept traversing the length of his cage, back and forth, at top (turtle) speed. We figured he had gone insane. At least he paused to have his picture taken.
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.
Common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina ) @Wesselman Woods Nature Center, Evansville IN 2:30PM CDT 9/22/2013
Some friends are visiting and they wanted to see turtles, so we went and found some turtles @ 4 mile. This one was particularly mellow and we got to hang out for a while.
I am a bit close on this photo because my main goal and that of another driver was to hustle this huge snapper off the 100 kph highway with oncoming cars in the distance. A picture of the full turtle hunkering down will be posted later.
Once the turtle finally reached the roadside grass and then the reeds, it moved quite quickly, and it was tank or bulldozer-like as it plowed through the dry reeds to get to the water. Figuratively and literally, it has a large "footprint."
It was very fun to see and interact with this colossus.
The last time I saw one of these big prehistoric-looking relics was as a young boy with my father along a river bank, a lasting memory and a big day for this kid.

We swam with this turtle at a dive site called Gordon's Flynn, in the southern part of the Great Barrier Reef off Cairns, Australia. Photo taken by one of our fellow divers, Donald Cantlon.
A close up of a male Eastern Box Turtle. The males have red eyes. This guy was sitting near a parking lot sunning himself at the Shawangunk Grasslands NWR.
This photo was modified from its original state through the use of the Orton Effect. This effect through use of blurring and exposure settings creates a dreamlike photo.
Caught sight of this Eastern Box Turtle grazing in a grass patch above our driveway Sunday. First one I had seen around here. When I finally brought the mower around to where he had been, he was gone. Hope he looked twice before crossing our street.
When you look at him enlarged on black background, appears he might have forgotten to wash his face before he left the house that morning.
