Turtle statue at Country Park Greensboro NC

This turtle was stranded at low tide. We poured some water on its shell and body to stop it from drying out, but it was way too heavy for us to move.

According to others who came after us, the turtle's front-right flipper (not shown) was injured. Poor thing.

By far the most precious thing on my journey. This baby turtle was in Location_5 and looked like he had gotten a little lost while sun bathing. I made sure to return him near the waters edge before he became someones pet. The ponds that I saw most turtles in were covered in algae.

I was walking with my friends along a side road near Christie Lake when I saw this turtle digging a hole in the ground dangerously close to the road pavement. While we were snapping pictures, the turtle decided that it doesn't like the publicity and retreated back to the safety of the lake. I hope she is safe now.

the Live Tortoise and Turtle museum is a strange and interesting place. I haven't put all my pictures from it up, because they are a bit dull and I can't remember what all the turtles are called. I think this is one of the largest freshwater turtle species in the world, though...
