OMG, Marietha...this is SOOO cute. and I'm not naturally partial to turtles or snakes by nature...the shell is the limit and you've gotten every texture and color that I'm sure could be seen on this one.
I think this is quite an amazing close up of this creature - that shell is so intricate. We do not have them in this country so they always fascinate me.
Good post :)

Great shot Marietha ... shows off the intricate markings on that beautiful shell of his. At the speed these guys travel at ... I'm surprised you stopped it with such clarity. LOL
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
