This big guy was crossing the street in the middle of the day at Chincoteague, stopping traffic as everyone got out of their cars to take pictures of him. (See picture below)
This turtle was resting on a log beside the Tip to Tip Trail along the Rideau Canal, Ottawa. The sun was high and the turtle was enjoying its warmth. He was not bothered by having his picture taken and stayed there for a very long time.

this pic was taken at the iguana sanctuary in Mexico, this was the only shot I managed to get, someone was holding this little guy, and was about to put him back in the water so I grabbed a quick shot, kinda cute, huh?
EXPLORE: September 30. Whenever there's a lot of rain in my neighborhood, we see turtles passing through the front yard. I suspect they are coming from the wetland area down the road and are moving to higher ground? I have no idea. I'm happy to have them pass through and to stay as long as they like.

Red-eared slider Turtles:
The red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans) (Br. Eng Red-eared terrapin) is
a semiaquatic turtle belonging to the family Emydidae. It is a subspecies of pond
slider. It is the most popular pet turtle in the United States and also popular in
the rest of the world. It is native only to the southern United States and northern
Mexico, but has become established in other places because of pet releases
and has become an invasive species in many introduced areas, such as California,
where it outcompetes the native western pond turtle.

This is for my sweet Flickr friend Nancy aka turtlemom4bacon... enjoy as I know
you do luv your turtles and I should have made this dedication when I first posted!!!
Last Monday, I had the opportunity to meet another Flickrite (jbillings06) and part of her family. They came to our small town to check out our topiaries. In spite of the great heat, which she seemed to weather much better than I, it was a fun day. So, though, I thought I was done taking topiary pics for this year, I had reason to squeeze out a few more pics. This worked out quite nice because they are 'living' sculptures after all and can look somewhat different as the season goes on.
It's always great when we can meet the personalities behind the photos and I thank her for taking the time to reach out and enabling the opportunity to share an experience together.

A quiet inlet where you can sit and listen to the cicadas and watch the fireflies on a summer evening. Enjoy a boat ride or drop a pole in the water and try your luck. Bring a camera, a friend or someone special and enjoy this serene, picturesque little cove and keep an eye out for the turtles.
