Tired
I caught this painted turtle sunning on a tire at Tunxis Pond. If you view this large you can see the prismatic motor oil sheen on his shell. They have recently cleaned up the trash at the edge of the pond, but this tire remains.

Great shot! Is that his natural colour, or has he got oil on him from the trash?

That's probably motor oil from the polluted water :(

Funny but apt caption! Nice colours on the shell but too bad they are from pollution.
