Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

I can not imagine just coming accross one of these like this !

He looks a bit panned out - what a capture. I like the wee bit of reflection showing.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

They sure don't look very dangerous when they're snoozing in the sun, but I still wouldn't get too close! A great shot of this awesome turtle Sandi. Who wouldn't want to take a little 'turtle nap' in the sun in such lovely surroundings?!

Which one of the MMNT (Middle-Aged Mutant Ninja Turtles) is this? A good snap of this lounging turtle Sandi. Great colours and textures in the photo.

You got a good capture there Sandi. Never seen one all sprawled out like this fellow. They usually are in a hurry to get away. My uncle had quite a problem with these fellows in his catfish pond. They were even bigger than this guy. Stuck a stick in one of the turtles mouth and it snapped right in two...whew. That is a good post.
