This shell does not look nearly as fuzzy with moss as the other one, Alex. A great shot of this guy with his head above water. Wouldn't it be great to be able to stay underwater at great length like a turtle but have the ability to walk around on land also? I've always envied that about turtles.

Great shot Alex - that growth on his shell might be to his advantage as it may keep his body temperature higher and therefore he doesn't need to bask in the sun for longer periods of time - btw - he has nice markings/colors on his face and neck - Great Capture!!!:-):-):-)!!!
