Turtles in a small pond in Alabama will crawl on the log to enjoy the sun. I couldn't walk up to take a picture -- they would dive in as soon as I got near. But when I drove up in the car, they were used to ignoring them and I was able to get a picture.

Jeff, you did a great job of sneaking up and getting a nice clear shot. Great exposure control in this image; everything of very well exposed with nothing blown out. BTW, thanks for commenting recently on 'warm summer evening'. Cheers! - Dave

Hi Jeff, This is a super shot!! Turtles are such interesting creatures and you caught a wonderful sight here. The contrast with the blue water is good. Excellent work.

Great capture here. I have been trying to take some photos of turtles around a local park and who says that turtles are slow moving? Good job!

If you love something, set it free. It it comes back to you, it is yours. If it does not, it was never meant to be. Wil
