Nice shot of this Snapping Turtle on the grounds of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway Visitor Center in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin.
"A turtle in the road!". Sometimes we pull over for the silliest things- but sometimes the best photos come from moments like these that you never expected. Good thing I keep the ol' PowerShot handy. I used 2 exposures- 1 to expose the turtle and another to expose the sky and the road.
I came across this snapping turtle while taking a walk along the Beauharnois Canal. I was really impressed by the size of it, i never tought that turtles so big ( approx 20" diam. ) lived in my area!!

We crossed paths just as there was a brief break in the clouds. This mature turtle's carapace was a bit over a foot long. Gotta love the lens's 1.5 m minimum focusing distance!
The encounter resulted in a mud-bellied photographer.

A guy was offering this poor creature at road side in Mengla Xishuangbanna
near laos (tropical rainforest).I want to safe the life of the turtle and bought it.To avoid to be catched again I decide to give the animal to the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanic Garden.The responsible person there told me it`s a "Common snapping turtle" native to North America,not Yunnan or laos but he will keep it and take care.

Yesterday morning, our cats were fascinated with something outside our living room windows. I looked several times, but could not see a bird or a squirrel. We were busy getting ready to go somewhere for the day, so I didn’t think about it much more. A little later, my husband started loading the car and announced that the big snapping turtle was back! She was looking for a place to lay her eggs. We saw her two years ago during the same week in May. Our neighbor who has lived here for about 15 years said he has seen her many times in the spring and that she has laid her eggs near his house several times. Her shell alone is about 15 inches long and with her even longer tail and big head, she makes quite an impression. It’s no wonder the cats were so interested in her.

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.
