What Lurks Just Below the Surface?

Keep your eyes open or you might just miss something!

Look what we spied at the lake during our walk this week! Is it the Loch Ness Monster? No...it's a turtle, poking it's little turtle head out.

Glad we had good eyes to see. Do you?

I see it....I see it! Great shot!

Nice use of negative space and a great shot. You work usually has a lot of cool things going on in them...it's nice to see this type of shot added to your portfolio. I like it!

@thomastoth I love to mix it up regularly. Thanks, Thomas, for your very kind comments!

@megmills Good eyes. Thanks, my friend. Good to have you back!

i thought it looked like a bottle. :-) you know with a cork stopper and a message inside, or a map to a treasure.

Fun shot and cool use of negative space. Well spotted!
June 10th, 2014  
Sweet shot of the Loch Ness Turtle!!!
June 10th, 2014  
Love all that space - and how considerate of the turtle to pop his head up in a photographically perfect place.
June 10th, 2014  
What indeed!!! ;)
June 10th, 2014  
Awesome shot
June 10th, 2014  
Love the big space around the turtle.
June 10th, 2014  
Great capture, Amanda! he looks lost in all that blue water.
June 10th, 2014  
Well spotted - great eyes indeed. Do you get lots of these where you live?
June 10th, 2014  
Nice find. I can see the whole turtle, once you mentioned it.
June 10th, 2014  
@paulaw Not so much where we live now, but at the lake we did. We were visiting where we used to live. In this place yesterday, there were 3 heads poking up at once. I tried to isolate in the shot, though.

@bill_fe Loved that about the photo. Thanks for pointing that out, Bill!
June 10th, 2014  
Oh yeah, you're rockin' the sws this time around.
June 10th, 2014  
@bill_fe sws is my favorite theme. LOVE story shots!!!
June 10th, 2014  
Well seen, lovely shot
June 10th, 2014  
Oh how fun, love that turtle... the tip of the iceberg...

I'm not sure I've ever seen a real turtle! I love the simplicity of this
June 10th, 2014  
awwww... cute shot!

@lissylis Come on over. We had tons in the lake the other day. There were 3 together here, but I just shot one of them. Once my son and I counted 11+ on one walk. They are cool. Last year, my friend and I rescued a baby the size of a quarter on the sidewalk we were running on. Almost stepped on it!
June 11th, 2014  
Very well spotted! I haven't seen any of our turtles at the lake this season!
June 11th, 2014  
Very simple..so clear you can see him really well..do to your excellent "snap"!
June 11th, 2014  
Without ready your description, I wasn't sure of scale. It almost looks like it could be a boat or something floating in the vast ocean! I like this!
June 11th, 2014  
Great sighting, fantastic capture!
June 11th, 2014  
Great shot
June 11th, 2014  
Yes I see him, cool!!!!
June 11th, 2014  
Turtles head, huh? No comment.
June 11th, 2014  
@snackmaster I KNOW!! Trust me, I thought of that, too. Cool, though, eh?
June 11th, 2014  
Oh, yeah, super cool! I just can't help bring a ten year old :)
June 11th, 2014  
@snackmaster I've got one about that age and think that way a bunch, too. But try to keep it under wraps:).
June 11th, 2014  
LOVE this Amanda! fav!
June 11th, 2014  
@katiebrenkert Thanks, friend. I really liked it, too. A different type of thing. I had fun processing it, too:). Appreciate you. You doing VBS's this summer. My kids start on by us next week.
June 11th, 2014  
Yes! I see it, but needed you to tell me! What a lucky capture!

@amandal ok, I'm on my way!
June 12th, 2014  
Fun shot of the loch ness monster. lol You are so funny Amanda. Nice shot though and love all that negative space (as they say in 365 land).
June 12th, 2014  
@amandal - for the MH, it doesn't have to be a selfie, right?
June 12th, 2014  
@summerfield Noooo, not at all. Not a selfie group, though I often go that route because I'm easy to work with:). So right. You in then for Sat?
June 12th, 2014  
@amandal - i am in! i will e-mail you my pic and blurb at least by saturday morning, is that good?
June 12th, 2014  
@summerfield Sure. Sounds great! April will be relieved!
June 12th, 2014

June 12th, 2014  
No, colon...just theoh...
June 12th, 2014  
Love the simplicity!
June 13th, 2014

June 14th, 2014  
@summerfield Got it...replied. Just now. Can you post?
June 14th, 2014  
I'm going back and looking at your albums on my big computer screen instead of my tiny cell phone that I've been tied to for the past 10 days. I really couldn't see the turtle on it very well then, but it's very clear tonight.
