Aww, don't be shy!


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!

  1. Great photo-a few years ago it was mating season at the zoo-even that they were doing slowly

  2. He may have been a reluctant subject but I think your great photo captured his personality :)

  3. How cute! I love turtles! It's a miracle they survive though, what with curious kids and cars and the rest!

  7. Wow, his shell is so smooth it looks almost polished. You're so lucky to get to see wild turtles roaming free :)

    Lovely shot!
