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.

Judging from the look on it's face, and the way he has turned his nose up, he undoubtedly thinks he is it! All other turtles must take notice!

This one has no moss but it looks like he is carrying a small cone shaped rock. Rare find and a good capture.

"No man is an Island," but I believe this turtle is Alex.
Good one.

Alex, if it's the same one, see that the 'swimming soccer field' has undergone a lawn mower treatment, lol.

A post with rare, funny, and good elements. Very well done anyhow!

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!!!:-):-):-)!!!

I don't think he needs a coat, your weather is a lot warmer then here. Another great shot

Great photograph Alex, of this fine looking fella.
