Benton County, Arkansas, USA

Taken at Viera wetlands on December 24, 2008. This turtle was pretty good sized and he was crossing the road heading down an embankment. He let me get close enough (ten feet or so) to get a pretty detailed shot, and that was nice to get in the sunrise

Large sea turtle munching on the seaweed on rocks. We are looking down from the wall at the edge of Michael and Sally's front lawn. Turtle's shell is probably at least 3 feet long.

He graced me with his presence.

Turtles in Display Pools at the Turtle Farm

Turtle that was painted on a wall in a tunnel @ the beach.

Cherbourg was enjoying some time hiding under the log. Anna proceeded to burrow underneath Cherbourg, trapping her at the back of the log. This is tutle stacking at its finest.

His back was really humped, unlike turtles I have seen in the past. Looks like he was carrying luggage in there or something.

This turtle kept coming up to me. It didn't matter where I went around the tank, it swam to me and would stick its head out of the water.

This was one of the rescued sea turtles living at Sea Turtle, Inc. in South Padre Island, Texas.

The mission of Sea Turtle, Inc. is to rescue, rehabilitate, and release injured sea turtles, educate the public, and assist with conservation efforts for all marine turtle species. '

Gene brought this turtle, which was constantly on the move!

Arkansas, USA

This is only a baby.

It was brought to Ecology Camp by Renn Tumlison and I was able to get a few pictures.

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.

This turtle was very inquisitive. He/she came close to us and looked at us right in the eye... she also "kissed" the team scientist.

..very rare.
