Not a great photo due to the brush in the foreground. Couldn’t get past it and knew the turtles wouldn’t stay still for long. Has to be the most turtles in one place I’ve seen!
a lifelong Michigander...enjoy photography and have a new camera to learn. favorite subjects include flowers, light and its effects, Marty the family Welsh springer,...
heheee... nice one. They usually lay like that quite still and for a long while in the sun. I have two of them. Quite lazy animals. :D But fun to watch. And somehow they are so interesting to watch when they are so many together.
Unfortunately, people buy them as pets. And they live very long (decades and decades) and they are quite burdensome to care for: they stink. And people abandon them by lakes or ponds. That is how they get in these clusters.
Locally, people have taken them to the zoo, but even the zoo was overcrowded at some point and they did not receive any more.
