Sunbathing

I saw this turtle while canoeing along a meandering creek. We were able to paddle right up to him and he stayed perched on this log for numerous photos! Eventually he slowly slid back into the water.

I really appreciate your comments and favs on yesterday's photo "Evening Canoeing"

This is one handsome turtle... and he appears to know it! How lovely that he 'posed' for you!

[Kerry McCarthy]

Wonderful shot! I love turtles. Great lighting, often I find the light reflects too much off the shell on sunny days. FAV

I have always love turtles, and this is one really handsome one, as Richard said.

Nice capture with great composition. Fav

funny how they love to balance on logs. I usually can't get real close before they dive into the water. Great shot.

Wonderful capture! Great focus!

Can't believe he stayed put for you - we come around the bend in the canoe and they'd leap off the logs! (and we were a hundred yards away!) Think yours must be the papa to my midget from yesterday. Lovely detail.
