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!
Sorry I'm a day late with the theme, but I hope everyone had a fun Valentine's Day! ;-)))
Pretty sure the turtle receiving the flower is a Red-eared slider.
In one Saturday morning at Honaunau, I saw a shark, two turtles and a big pod of dolphins. I'm truly fortunate to be able to dive with these big animals.
This Green male turtle was totally absorbed eating small pieces of what looke like sea grass, and was indifferent to our presence.
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.

This handsome turtle was chilling out on the road. I'm glad I got a shot of him out of his shell before moving him, because he refused to come back out afterward! I waited patiently for 45 minutes and he didn't budge, so I put him in some shady bushes in the direction he was headed.
