The turtles at the lake always come out in spring and summer to bask in the sun

Some of the speediest turtles I've ever seen!

After a couple of pictures, I did help this one across. He just didn't seem to appreciate me at all!!!

Mr. Turtle visited me today. I believe it is the eastern box turtle. 10/16/10

This is what a Box Turtle is supposed to do when confronted by a predator, or, in this case, me. They have the ability to completely close themselves in.

Unlike the one that lives in my yard, this guy had the right idea - to slam shut!

Even the smallest of turtles can be deadly.

There were actually FOUR today, but #4 was very shy. This one let me get right up on him (or her). Those EYES...

Okay, so we've covered as much of Route 66 as we were going to on this trip so we headed home. Being near Narcissa Oklahoma, the fastest way was to go to Highway 44 and then head back east. well, I had forgotten that a large part of Highway 44, in Oklahoma, is a turnpike. That means limited access, but fortunately for us, one of the access points was just south of Narcissa. So as we are driving up to the toll booths, I see this little turtle on the road. I didn't know where the nearest body of water was, but the road had five inch curbs and the little guy was trapped. I slowed my car down and opened the door and scooped him up as I passed. Then I pulled over and dumped out my toolbox to have something to put him in.

So we proceed to get on the turnpike and head home and I'm thinking about letting the turtle go at whatever river or stream we come to. But we are on a turnpike. So there is no way to get off until we reach the next access point. Turns out we didn't find a suitable place to get off till we reached Joplin Missouri.

Shoal Creek got a new resident that day. Well since the little guy had his heart set on migrating, this should do the trick.

Took this photo of the turtle.

I didnt know that turtles can sense from a distance of about 15 ft until i shot this one. Chintu is my fren's pet turtle and i was trying to take a shot of him without disturbing him. So i shot using a large zoom lens and was really amazed when he sat there watching me right in the eye(lens) and watching every move...

June evening at Lake Maria State Park, MN. See a painted turtle in the grass and get out to get a few photos and expect it to run off like most painted turtles do, but it didn't. It was digging in the ground a hole and thought it was strange and then the first egg popped into the hole and watched her drop 8 eggs into the hole and then covered the hole and walked back to the lake.
