Turtle laying eggs.

On Grand Bahama Island. He kept coming closer and closer to get a look at me.

A turtle I found crossing Pughtown Rd. I brought it to where I work at Buttonwood Farm near Kimberton, PA.

This is a series of photos I took of it before I released it in a pond on a farm near where I picked it up a few hours earlier.

June 21st, 2009. Aitkin County, MN. This female was looking for a place to lay some eggs. Unfortunately she was considering doing so right on the side of a highway in our yard. She eventually abandoned the idea.

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