Two Red-eared Slider Turtles bask themselves in the warm sunshine. I'm seeing more and more rather large turtles, some appear to have been well taken care of which leads me to believe someone has let them go in the canal due to their size.
Don't let that smiley face fool you. These turtles can be feisty when out of water. Snapping turtles roamed the earth with the dinosaurs and have a strong bite but contrary to popular belief they cannot bite your finger off. They range from Canada to Florida. Their numbers may be in decline in some areas where trapping is legal. If you really want to get up close and personal with this snapper, view in Large! Didn't need 5 frames a second for this capture.
Well, I saw this Great Blue Heron out on a tiny 'island', so I took the photo.
It was only during processing that I saw the turtles (I count almost 30!) at his feet, OMG!
Click to enlarge, it's cool!
Thanks for looking, etc.:)

In all the time spent at this location, this is the first time I spotted a turtle above water.
Noise from camera shutter caused turtle to look toward me.
Some turtles snap and some are bored and yawn. After watching this turtle for some time, I'm convinced that both of us were a little bored, and this was a yawn.
These turtles are very invasive, this baby was taken at our park, gently picked it up for a photo then placed it in the same spot,
in Quetico Provincial Park. After three very cold (for August) days, this day proved sunny and warm and as we paddled down Pickerel River, we noticed lots of these creatures sunning themselves near the shore.

Turtle Mound is a prehistoric archaeological site located 9 miles (14 km) south of New Smyrna Beach, Florida
Got a couple of really close up shots of this turtle at the Elk Grove Park, California. No idea what I'm going to do with these – I could make 4' x 6' prints!

Another view of the turtle I rescued yesterday. He was on a sidewalk near a pond heading for a busy street. Put him back by the water and off he went.
Snapping turtle laying eggs.
Сегодня видел черепаху откладывающую яйца. Простоял около неё минут 40. Не знаю сколько она успела отложить до того, при мне штук 20 наверное. Окончания процесса не дождался, нужно было возвращаться домой.

We found him near a little pond.
The only turtle species that is endemic to Central Europe. Otherwise it can be found in Europe, Turkey and Morocco, as well.
Loves slow moving waters and ponds. They can live up 40-60 years long.
In many European countries they are endangered as their natural habitat of wetlands is shrinking.
In recent years they are also threatened by the fact that there are more and more Red-eared sliders (a turtle species native to the southern US and Mexico but often kept as pet in Europe) end up in the wild and behave as an invasive species against the local pond turtle.
A young snapping turtle waits for me to get out of his way on the D&L Canal Trail. I pedaled various Pennsylvania trails for five days in the spring of 2018 and crossed paths with at least one turtle every day.

I found it in my garden a couple of weeks ag.o :) I didn't want to keep it so I let it go and took a few photos instead!
Hello everyone!
Never tried black and white so when I processed this file I had a look at the option and find the light rays in the background a bit more dominant in B&W.
Will be very interested what you think!
Please feel free to give me some constructive criticism! Don't hold back.
I have not been on Flickr for a while, life kind of takes over at the moment.
So apologies for neglecting you a bit, I hope to return to Flickr a bit more frequent soon.
As always! Thanks for looking and have a fantastic weekend.
Ps. press z to get the full picture.

I saw this lovely little painted turtle right after taking the previous shot of the Chestnut Sided Warbler.
These are very colourful turtles. This one was enjoying a spot of sunbathing on a rock in the water.
Thank you for all of your comments. Positive and constructive criticisms are very much welcomed and appreciated
