snapping turtle laying her eggs on the bank of the creek in my backyard

Saw this little guy just chilling on a rock in a pond. There were several turtles sitting on them in the ponds throughout the park.

Very large turtle posied to launch itself in to the blue from its hiding hole - sail on my friend!!!!

He appears to be "smiling"~or is it me...lol!

Some turtles hoping to get fed at the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Florida.

A large female Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas). Nassau, BAH. I swam into fire coral getting this shot. Ouch. Like the stinging nettle of the sea. But the burn lasts like poison ivy.

He was just hanging out on the sidewalk sunny himself.

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 big guy was crossing the road so we stopped for a photo!! He looked so old with moss growing all over his shell & his paw/foot was all mangled. At first we thought he might be a snapping turtle but I think he's a painted turtle. Hope you all have a great weekend, stay safe!!
