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

Box turtles live a long time and are very vulnerable to getting run over and having humans carry them away and release them in unfamiliar territory where they're unlikely to survive.
One morning while looking for Mexican Hog nosed snakes six of these Ornate Box Turtles were seen crossing the road. These are a protected species in Arizona and always fun to see.
The highlight of anyone's trip to Hawaii a swimming encounter with a sea turtle. I was fortunate to have this encounter with 5 feeding turtles on a rocky point near the beach.

Box Turtles are reasonably common where I live. Their high-domed shells can be seen wandering through the forest, yards and far too often on the roads. But these turtles are decades old. Their replacement generation is not to be found -- a casualty of too much human development. Seeing an adult is always enjoyable -- but really not noteworthy. Finding a nestling box turtle is a rare and special experience. Still covered in the dirt from the egg nest this baby is not as photogenic as a heron or eagle -- but still ranks high on my photographic list. It is a small hope for a dying population.

This turtle was found in the middle of the road in a tiny town called Marshall. Sara and I rescued him and put him in the grass so he wouldn't be hit.

I think it’s the last bit of the yolk sac that nourished the embryo as it grew in the egg. When turtles hatch, the last smidgeon of the yolk sac continues to provide nutrients to the hatchling and is totally absorbed in a few days
