The foreground branches made it difficult to get a clear view of the turtle on a log. Photographed along the Tuliptree Trail in Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario.

I wonder if he has to stay in the slow lane?

Rescued Snapping Turtle that was in the middle of a busy street. Not big for a Snapper but big enough. Used my Lens Cap as a reference.
