Turtles - some incognito, some not.

Feels like he's swimming right at you, doesn't it? :)

So far, I haven't gotten bored with turtles.  Love to encounter "Turtle sightings"

I think that ET kind of resembles a turtle out of its shell

From a distance I saw something sticking out of the...... somewhat frothy looking area.  Other than the leaves.  Pretty smart camouflage

Maybe it's like a turtle spa treatment.

Here's one of the Red-Bellied Turtles.  Soaking up the sun rays

Check out the turtle's head behind the large turtle shell.  Guess he thought it was a good idea too.

Going down!

I can see where the turtle-neck sweaters got their name.  Looks like he's got one on.  Check out those claws!
Inching his way to the edge, ready to push off and start swimming.  With those big claws.

Maybe he's happy to finally get the prime spot in front of where the female Canadian Goose was sitting on her nest last week

All that's left of the goose' nest

I love when the turtles climb out onto a tree branch.  With the way that they're built, you wouldn't think that they'd be able to balance themselves or hang on for dear life like they do.  Wonder if it's as relaxing as he makes it look....
