Monorail Snapper by rob257

Monorail Snapper

Not the biggest snapper in the pond, but the first time I've seen one draped over a rock like a cat on a bannister.
What a cool shot, he looks like he's just had enough!

Looks like he has had a rough day! I've never seen one so relaxed!

Thanks, All, for stopping in and taking the time to comment. I'm my own worst critic and it's been days since I really felt good about my daily contribution. As for the tail, Paula, yes, but what really impressed me was the NAILS!

He's like you...."at last, the sun"....and he's totally enjoying it! Or maybe a female that has just completed laying eggs and is exhausted! Any way you look at it, it's a great capture! The details you can see when viewed large are awesome. Have to Fav it for all that! Love it.

Thanks All, for the comments. Haven't decided myself if she was pooped, or just totally relaxed, but I've never seen quite that pose before!

This is a great capture, Rob. Obviously enjoying the warmth of that rock.

After the following days shot, I do wonder if it's a female poohed out from a session of nest digging and egg laying! thanks for commenting.
June 12th, 2012  
Great capture! She definitely looks worn out!
June 12th, 2012  
LOL! He or she was really trying to soak up some sun rays! Good capture! FAV!

I'm amazed at those claws! Didn't think turtles had them - thought they had paddle type feet!

@betsyg @grannysue @maggiemae
Thanks for taking the time to view and comment.
Maggiemae, "paddles" yes. Paddles with claws! ;-) Even the little painted turtles have the claws, but the snappers raise them to an art form!
June 13th, 2012  
Wow! This is a great catch! He looks very relaxed.
