In our travels a few days ago, we managed to witness a mama turtle very similar to this one lay its eggs and cover them up in our complex. Hopefully they can hatch undisturbed and make their way to the river. This picture was taken not too far away at Lettuce Lake last month. I want to wish everyone a truly happy Thanksgiving! Despite troubles that abound, there are many things to be thankful for.

Beautiful rich color and capture, Alex...sure hope the gators don't get after those newly laid eggs and they survive...let us know if you find the little ones emerging...Happy Thanksgiving...great shot!

It makes me think of the old song, "Slip, sliding away."
I never tried skipping a turtle across the water. Just kidding Alex!
Good action shot. In slow motion I would guess.
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.

Alex, I think it's applauding for you as a reward for being excellently portrayed.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
