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 made this for a baby present! How-to is here: westcoastcrafty.wordpress.com/2007/10/24/a-whale-of-a-one...

I sewed a little button on (super securely) for the eye, but you can skip this part if you're worried about the baby putting it in its mouth...

Tommy makes his 'post card' debut. I'm sure getting good milage outa this turtle, ain't I?

Edna, one of the easern Ornate box turtles I'm turtlesitting for a friend, poses for the camera.

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.

Turtle in the rain..

Turtles live in/near water, tortoises on land.

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.

The shell of this turtle was about a foot long. It came out of the woods on 05/27/10 and stopped about 15 feet away from where I was in the middle of planting a tree - sat there and watched me for the next half hour!

I found this turtle basking in the sun at the Toronto brick works ponds. I believe it is a Painted Turtle
