Royal Palm Beach Pines Natural Area, Palm Beach County, FL, USA

Sunday was spectacular--flowers blooming, Green Heron fishing and turtles basking, swimming and just being turtles.

Honestly, I don't know if it is a tortoise or a turtle. However, it was curious. I took this photo with a water proof disposable camera when on a cruise in the Bahamas. We had just stopped for a snorkeling expedition and, after everyone else took off, this guy showed up to pose for me.

It had rained really bad, so this turtle was up by the gate, taking refuge from the water.

Turtles at the turtle farm

This snapping turtle was about three feet away from our tent when we all saw each other. She froze, deliberated for fifteen minute, then set off in search of a different spot (far from humans!) in which to lay her eggs.

Did you ever really look at a turtle's legs!? They're amazing! I see this resident turtle on various rock in the Lamberton Conservatory all the time. But this was the first time he or she really showed me much of the leg. I never realized there was so much to a turtle's leg! I guess the other leg is being rested.

 

NO INVITES OR ICONS PLEASE

I think I'll leave him alone. On to other things...

She was just walking around minding her own business. While she was not thrilled with the camera, she was tolerant.
