Painted Turtle

What a colourful chap or chapess

[Casablanca 🇬🇧]

How beautiful. I saw one of these in my local pond a couple of years ago, basking on a log. I was amazed! I suspect it had been a pet in someone's aquarium and had been dumped. Not normally to be found in my part of England!

Beautiful capture and colours.

He's wonderfully coloured. He seems to look a little like those snapping turtles - I hope he has a nicer attitude..

Wow! Awesome capture!
