Not Warm Enough

I found this painted turtle upside down at the edge of the pond today. I wonder if it crawled out of the mud on a warm day or if it was pulled out by an animal who then decided it wasn't good to eat? I flipped it over in case it was not dead, just cold-stunned, but I do not know if it will survive.

Hope it survives.

You’ll have to let us know tomorrow if it lived 😁

I don't think I've ever seen the bottom of one before.

Oh poor beauty

Oooh so sad...

[Anne Pancella]

Very sad. Mother nature can be a mean mother.

[Diana]

How sad that this was the reason for a lovely shot. I sure hope it will survive.

[John Falconer]

Nice shot nevertheless.

So very sad...good storytelling and composition.
