A turtle next to the aviary pond at the Henry Vilas Zoo.

This little guy charged at me when I put the camera to the glass, stopped, glared, and then dove into the pool.

On a different trail, we saw this turtle along the road. I found four turtles over the course of two days. It was rather odd.

I think this one is also a red-bellied turtle, but they can be confused with the eastern painted turtle and I'm not 100% certain.

We took a walk along the San Antonio River on Easter. We didn't find any Easter eggs, but we found this turtle laying eggs by the river, does that count? :-)

The turtles lounge on this same log every day on the Cypress Swamp Trail.

A baby snapping turtle we found near the pond.

He was startled when he saw me and started to take off. Then he turned around and went back for food.

I think this one is a prime candidate for a caption competition. Thank you, yes, I am aware that it's not a turtle and probably not even a dove but the title fitted. This fellow must have felt quite at home today as she/he was not the only one in a shell suit at the zoo at half term!

This little guy came visiting one day. He scared my dogs. They didn't know what to do with him...He was tryihg to get through the fence but he was too big to get in.
