A first :)

While in the gardens I spotted a turtle swimming in the pond. I only got 2 shots before a duck swam over it, and it disappeared! I never knew we had turtles in the pond :) it is not a very clear shot as the water is quite murky, but I was so excited to see it :)

His little eye is watching you very carefully.

How exciting to find out you have turtles, do they grow very big???

He looks delightfully surprised to have found the surface of the water! Great capture as I'm sure you had only a moment or two to snap the pic.

This is amazing and how exciting to find a turtle in the pond. It's a brilliant shot. Well done Denise.

[Kathy]

Ahhhhhhhhahahahahaha, this makes me laugh!! Look how far his neck is stretched out and his eyes are bugging, like he was trying real hard to get his photo taken before the duck ran him over!!! Too cute!! FAV!

[Louise & Ken]

That's wonderful! Is he in *your* pond? I'd be delighted as well! As for "murky", I love the colour of the water!
