Know How They Got Their Name!

My husband told me these are called "mud turtles" (perhaps not their official name??) but I can sure understand why they're called that Sure look like they need a good scrubbing. But I did like the reflections I caught.

Yes, the reflections are great and make a pleasing and strong competition. Looks like those two have their work cut out to climb that branch.

The convergence of the actual and the reflection is an eye-catcher. I wonder what the bigger turtle happened to be saying when you took his picture. 'Smile!' ?
