This time of year, it's quite common to find turtles in the middle of the highway, absorbing heat from the asphalt. All to frequently, they are killed. I brought this little guy home with us today, and he let me take a few shots, before I introduced him to Buck Lake. The next shot, is up close, and personal

Excellent clear shot Doug. I am glad you saved him from the highway and shared his beauty with us.

An excellent shot ..... great detail & clarity. Nice colorful markings on the turtle. I am happy you saved this little one from so many hazards & introduced the turtle to it's new home. Well done Doug.

Friends are like shining stars. You may not always see them, but you know they are always there for you.
Nice shot Doug, and nice framing!! This turtle seems to be same variety as one I posted before. I was told by a friend of mine that it is called a Painted Turtle...But you are right , they are being run over by vehicles...I was out to Holiday Beach Conservation area with the dogs this morning and seen some as roadkill...I took pictures of a turtle beside the road which I think is a snapping turtle...It was ugly...it was on edge of road where there was a boardwalk over the water..I was trying to get photos of water fowl and almost tripped over it :)) anyways I will post it...gerry..

Oh Doug, I love this little turtle. His markings are so beautiful. I too see alot of these killed in the highway but I try to avoid them or move them when I can. Very nice closeup.

A good deed, let's just hope it didn't have a nest to get back to!
