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.

Su nombre es "Tomasa" CI:121.

Mi hermano la encontró en la puerta de la casa hace años y decidió adoptarla...

He had a little buddy next to him too, but they were too shy, and I didn't wanna bug the little guys for too long. :)

Gammera is my pet eastern painted turtle, found on the median line of a very busy intersection of Winchester, VA. Amazing he didn't get hit, or worse, smashed, like some I've seen. I've taken him under my wing and spoiled him for the past five years or so. He even eats fish from my hands, though can still chase and catch them like a heat seeking missle.

These Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles reside around Paradise Cove , on the island of Oahu.

A box turtle was crossing the street after a rainstorm. I took a couple of shots as I helped it get to safety across the street without being hit by a car.

A beautiful softshell turtle in the Cascades. We have only seen them in the pond. A real treat to see one on dry land.
