One of the many Gopher Tortoises that were on Egmont key. I spotted this one near the lighthouse. The island seemed to be full of them, They were even up and down the beach.

Marvelous close up shot Ed of this tortoise. They are so cool to watch if you have time, lol. To me I think that is a male, females eyes are normally redish/brown.

It's a great capture Ed! The detail and textures on him really look good! I don't know if he's pleased to get his picture taken~but you did an excellent job! :)Ami

I had a gopher turtle once but I had to fire him. It was taking him too long to bring anything to me. Great post Huck.

Are they safe from all those alligators? Nice clear shot Ed - The details are quite sharp.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Fantastic detail on this tortoise ... looks like he / she was giving you the 'eye' too. Very well done Ed.

Cute turtle Ed! I wonder if humans got the idea for armor from the turtles? lol. Great job! Allen

Ed, can't help it, but I'm still smiling about Jimbob's comment about the shutter speed. Doesn't mean however that I wasn't watching your image seriously. Oh, no it's on the contrary.
Like therefore to say too that's a very good detailed turtle shot to me my friend.
Regards, Cornelius.

Looks like me when I get up in the morning..Just not as cute as he is. Great post.

A good close up of him Ed. I wonder if they were nesting in the area. =^..^= sandi ♪

Very nice shot of this cute turtle, and I guess he wasn't afraid of you, because we can still see his head.

Come over to the dark side, we have cookies. :)
Sweet portrait! He looks like a big one... Good thing he's a tortoise and not a snapping turtle... ;-)

A very good close up Ed!! I like all the detail in the shell. He does look huge. Thanks for sharing. Lyn.

How nice that you got him with the head AND the legs out of the shell.
