Nice to Meet You!

Turtle extends his hand as we stopped to say hello. It was SUCH a hot day, sweltering, really. The birds were too hot to be flying about. Can you feel the heat in this photo? @pattyp and @jbird56 and I decided to ditch the birding and go have breakfast instead.

I saved one of these beautiful creatures on Sunday. He was crossing a road.

Great shot. Turtles can be hard to photograph between the glare of the sun and the water reflections.

Looks like it dried the shell off completely, so seems to be pretty hot. Nice capture.

Looks like it is balanced on the log.
