Rare Sighting

Michigan Tree Turtle (Testudicus Arbolicus) Very elusive and much sought after by photographers and nature lovers in lower Michigan. And I was lucky enough to capture one on film! Definitely best viewed large. :)

this is incredible! love the surprise element - at first not knowing what we are seeing.

@apogee2012 Thanks! It was the only turtle that didn't dive in when it saw me. Ha ha! :)

Very colourful among the almost monochrome surroundings. We don't have turtles in Norway and you're not allowed to keep them as pets so not something I see very often.

[Julie Duncan]

@helstor Thank you! Wow - I had no idea you are turtle-deprived up there in Norway! :)

[Gemma]

Wow what a shot! That was a stroke of luck.
