Tired

I caught this painted turtle sunning on a tire at Tunxis Pond. If you view this large you can see the prismatic motor oil sheen on his shell. They have recently cleaned up the trash at the edge of the pond, but this tire remains.

What a great spot for this little guy to sun himself!

great image, i like the color and the composition

Great shot! Is that his natural colour, or has he got oil on him from the trash?

[Allison Maltese]

@janturnbull That's probably motor oil from the polluted water :(

Love turtle shots, hopefully they will get everything cleaned up for them.

Super find! One of those "he's so homely he's cute!" guys. Great clear shot.

Powerful image and statement about keeping our environment clean. Nice POV as well.

Cool find and capture.

[Peter de Graaff]

Seems out of place on tyre

Funny but apt caption! Nice colours on the shell but too bad they are from pollution.

very cool shot, hope the pollution isn't too much for him/her.
