Most of the shell is gone and the innards are exposed and eroded so you can see the turtle's bones are inside of the matrix...but now sticking outside.
First time for me seeing a turtle! They are really cool and special. I accidentally found this one when me and my friend was taking photos in a rose park. Lucky me!
This turtle is names as such due to the red spots where it's "ears" are. And also because it slides down the banks of the creeks, lakes, ponds, and rivers that they call home.
Turtles are everywhere. You walk around, you stop, you look around, there's a turtle. Brilliant colors on this 3-toed box turtle, no color-tweaking or saturation, I swear! One of 3 I saw in about an hour. The other 2 were buried face-first in mud & underbrush.
Finally to my favorite part of the vacation - Big Island of Hawaii. This turtle was sunning on our beach at the resort. Coincidentally, so was I.
I didn't have anything to show the scale, but this turtle must be at least three feet long. It looks like a freaking dinosaur.
Even though the red eared slider spends the larger part of its day in the water, it still likes to climb out and bask under the sun-like glow of the heat lamp.
