Sitting out by the pool the other day, I just happened to see this little guy strolling across the vacant lot next to us. Luckily for me, he couldn't get away too fast and I had time to go get the camera. He wan't up for having his picture taken and immediately pulled his head in. I don't know why, I was just trying to give him his share of fame!
Awesome shot!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo-a few years ago it was mating season at the zoo-even that they were doing slowly
ReplyDeleteHe may have been a reluctant subject but I think your great photo captured his personality :)
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I love turtles! It's a miracle they survive though, what with curious kids and cars and the rest!
ReplyDeleteWow, he looks like a big one!
ReplyDeleteHe's just a tad camera shy...I'm always amazed by turtles..think they're pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool pic. Can't believe he was so close to you.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, so cute! You never see those types of animals where I live...
ReplyDeleteWow, his shell is so smooth it looks almost polished. You're so lucky to get to see wild turtles roaming free :)
ReplyDeleteLovely shot!
Oh, what splendid luck you have. I only ever see the dead ones. :(
ReplyDeleteI had the same experience a few weeks back. He pulled his legs and head in..I felt bad for bothering him...lol
ReplyDeleteLove it Kaye! Fortunately, that guy wasn't going anywhere fast...LOL
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute!
ReplyDeleteOh my, definitely not something I'd see here! lol.
