With this cold front hitting right after the hurricane we may

not see Gertle & her two lil buddies till spring.......

hibernation time for Terrapene carolina bauri (Florida Box Turtle).

I'm hoping to see them a few more times before they

burrow away for the winter... :)

UPDATE.... It's warming up again & Gertle is doing her

regular backyard stomp... :)

Check out those claws - our male turtle waiting for (yet more) food!

A beautiful wood turtle with one eye missing

This little box turtle managed to position itself right in the middle of the main trail in the Fresh Ponds portion of Delaware Seashore State Park near Bethany Beach. I moved him/her out of the way of my bicycle, and I hope s/he stayed that way. But with box turtles you never know . . . . Photographed on August 27, 2013.

The Calusa Nature Center & Planetarium holds various reptiles and amphibians in the main building, as well as a selection of birds in aviaries outside.

The Calusa centre holds an aquarium with small Florida softshell turtles (Apalone ferox) as well as other, unidentified types.

It was tricky at times taking shots - getting close enough to reduce reflection on the glass, not close enough lose focus (although at times the background gravel is clearer than the beastie).

Seen in Hong Kong city park.

This little guy was on my deck early yesterday morning. It looks as if he just ate a bag of Cheetos.

Cleaning out my older photo files and loading ones I never got around to loading.

I just love turtles - I don't see as many as I use to, I hope it's only because I am in the wrong place and not that their numbers are decreasing.
