Now is the time to watch for turtles! If you see one crossing the road, stop and help it along if it's safe to do so. Walking behind a turtle can encourage it to move along and avoid getting hit by a car. This one was enjoy the sun on a closed road at Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge.

The Pasir Panjang Segari Turtle Sanctuary, is located just a few miles from the town of Lumut in the state of Perak. Visitors get the opportunity to learn about the turtles in their natural habitat. Run by the Department of Fisheries, this hatchery and research center is a quiet stretch of beach and main landing area for the Green Turtle, Olive Ridley Turtle and Painted Terrapin. Due to the decline in turtle landing over the years, the sanctuary provides a heaven for baby turtles who struggle to survive against their natural predators and trawler nets.

Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta) - Walworth County, Wisconsin, USA
The small lake that these were seen in has one of the largest populations of turtles I have ever seen, walking the perimeter of the lake I must have seen over a 100 painted turtles. I stopped on shore to observe a few turtles and saw some interesting behavior, a 3rd turtle swam up and began stretching its neck out of the water towards the face of one of the basking turtles, it did this for several minutes took a break and then resumed its activity. At several points the basking turtle retracted its head back inside its shell but this did not dissuade the 3rd (persistent) turtle, my view was obstructed by the basking turtles shell but the turtles were so close that their snouts must have been touching or very close to it. I don't know what this behavior was, perhaps the 3rd turtle wanted the other to relinquish its basking spot or maybe some sort of mating behavior. In any case it was interesting to see. You can see the turtle in the water stretching to reach the basking turtle from the water in this shot.
Green turtles are found throughout the world, occurring primarily in tropical, and to a lesser extent, subtropical waters. The Hawaiian green turtle is genetically distinct from the other green sea turtle populations, nesting primarily in the French Frigate Shoals of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and feeding in the coastal areas of the main Hawaiian Islands. This species was in a steep decline as of the 1970s because of direct harvest of both turtles and eggs by humans. The population has grown steadily over the last thirty years after protection began in 1978. Greens are the most common species of sea turtle found in Hawaiian waters.

I've been looking for these NECA TMNT toys for months now. The stars finally aligned yesterday and I got a set.
They are AWESOME. I've basically played with them non-stop for about 24 hours at this point. LOVE. They're SOOOOO poseable. Like better than Revoltechs. Well, almost.
This shot: open sewer outgasing (smoke bomb), 1 second exposure, handheld flash positioned to the right and below. =)
Expect many more Turtle shots.
