Two's Company, Three's a Crowd?

Junko and I were at the zoo today -- a perfect sunny spring day for a long walk. North of the zoo is North Pond, with a beautiful walk surrounding it. We spotted these turtles and watched the antics of the smallest one on the log, off the log, back on the log. We never did figure out the relationships!
Junko caught the middle little one on his way back up to the log, having been sent off -- or left of his own decision, who knows -- but clearly decided to return: https://365project.org/jyokota/365/2021-04-22

I LOVE your post here because of how beautifully you captured the relationship of what I have decided must be a parent and child. Fun walk today!

They are so lovely. Nice light and reflections

What a marvellous image. Our turtles here are totally independent from hatching onwards - makes me wonder if this little guy was just being annoying? :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Fabulous shot and a lovely scene.

Awww how fun. Maybe the small one is the offspring of the other two?

The turtles at the river here where I live seem to pile all over each other on a log.

[Issi Bannerman]

Lovely capture. A definite turtle hug going on there, and one turtle feeling very left out!
