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.
A head shot close up of a nice little turtle.
Just a bit of a shame the colour is as washed out.

This painted turtle was rescued crossing the road from one pond to another. He was kept in a nice outdoor cage until one day he mysteriously escaped.
This guy decided to walk up the driveway today! Big turtle..about a foot across and 1 1/2 feet long with his tail included. Almost positive it's a common snapping turtle (quite common here in Wisconsin)
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.
