Went out today with daughter and captured these images. It was the most beautiful day away from beach. We are still having gloom days towards the shores......
I saw a lot of these turtles through out the Okanagan, they were very common. In the lower mainland most of them are gone having lost their space to an introduced species.
Sei que deveria considerá-lo um jabuti, mas preferi que seja uma tartaruguinha fofa e amável :)
Isso é um porta-joia acreditam? É da minha irmã e ela ganhou de uma amiga :)
E como é uma miniatura fofa, lembrei da Natália Viana ( Naty fofa!) :)
Beijos e obrigada por tudo! :D
im always looking for turtles, and never sem to find them, this day was no different, just about to give up, we saw this little guy scrambling to cross the road, and he was moving.
Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge is a wildlife preserve operated by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, encompassing part of the Montezuma Swamp at the north end of Cayuga Lake. The refuge lies between the cities of Rochester and Syracuse, New York (5 miles (8 km) east of Seneca Falls, and 10 miles (16 km) west of Auburn), including parts of Seneca, Cayuga, and Wayne Counties. Most of the refuge lies in the Town of Tyre, in the northeast corner of Seneca County.
The Montezuma Marshes were designated a National Natural Landmark in May 1973; the citation notes that "A small, 100-acre area within the site is one of the best examples of undisturbed swamp woodlands in New York or New England."[1]
The New York Northern Montezuma Wildlife Management Area borders the national wildlife refuge and protects additional parts of the Montezuma Swamp.
A significant spot along the Atlantic Flyway, the Refuge provides crucial habitat for migratory waterfowl and other birds.
Here a small clip of that turtle hope you like it.

The painted turtle is the only turtle native to western Montana, though it is found throughout the state and the northwestern US and adjoining regions of Canada, the Great Plains, the Midwest, and northeastern US. They do well year-round, as long as their watery habitat does not freeze solid to the ground. They are an abundant and not threatened species.
The most brightly "painted" parts, besides the yellow stripes on their heads and necks, are on the plaston (bottom plate of the shell) but this photo does provide little glimpses of what lies beneath.
The turtles were sunning themselves in the shallows of Spring Creek beneath the footbridge. I had never seen them there before, and was delighted to have an interesting - and for me, rare - subject that moved "conveniently" slowly to photograph.

I can't tell you much about this guy other than what you see in the photo, but if anyone can help me with identification, I'd really appreciate it!
This Green male turtle was totally absorbed eating small pieces of what looke like sea grass, and was indifferent to our presence.
