I went to visit my animal friends along the Tunxis Pond boardwalk today and caught a few turtles out and about, including this painted turtle and a monster of a snapping turtle. The snapper was probably very old -- they can live 100 -150 years. I did not get a good enough photo of him to post -- sometimes you just have to see it with your eyes!! I will go back another day and see if I can spot him again down in the ooze.
Whenever I approach an area that might have a turtle, all I hear is a loud splash! Don't get to see the turtle. You must be working on taming him! Love the photo.
