Turtles on a log

52 Week Challenge #6 - wildlife
Well, trying to catch up with weeks I missed. This is an old one!
Can you see 8 turtle heads?
Aw I am feeling sorry for the one on its own.

Amazing find and capture - love how they blend into the muddy waters

Nice pic!
October 22nd, 2023  
I don't see any of them fighting for space.
October 22nd, 2023  
That is a lot of trutles in one photo! Perfect composotiin FAV
October 22nd, 2023  
This is so cute!
October 22nd, 2023  
they are adorable! and yes - i see all 8 😊

thank you for my challenge... that one will make me think for sure!

for your challenge, how about trying some sort of home-made filter... that is, put something between your lens and your subject that will do something interesting with the light... some ideas could be saran wrap, saran wrap with vaseline (you have to be careful with that because you don't want to get any vaseline on the camera or lens, but it's kind of a fun technique to play with), shoot through a sieve, or thru distorted glass... hope this works for you - let me know if not and i'll come up with something else

Looking very crowded, not much room for the little one at the bottom of the picture.

A great find and capture of those many turtles . Fav,

Great capture
October 23rd, 2023  
The little one just wants to join the crowd. I see all 8
October 23rd, 2023  
Indeed. Lovely capture.

I love that centre one. He looks like he is waving! But it is probably another little turtle head.
October 23rd, 2023  
Lovely shot
October 23rd, 2023  
Yep, eight! I love turtles! This is a great photo, no matter how old it is. FAV
October 23rd, 2023

October 23rd, 2023

Yup- eight heads and counting!

@wakelys Thanks Sue. He does look like he's looking at the others as if feeling excluded.
@rensala Thank you Renee. We commented on how murky the water was when we got to this park.
@photographycrazy Thanks Bill.
@tunia No they seem to be on top of each other here.
@grammyn Thanks Katy. There were other logs with a number of turtles of them too.
@corinnec Thank you.
@northy Thanks for viewing and commenting. As for the challenges, if I need to come up with another challenge, just let me know. I will enjoy your challenge for me. Have some ideas.
@onewing There was room on the end of the log that was cut off. There actually were two more turtles down at that end. i'm not sure why these all crowded together. Warmth?
@pyrrhula Thank you Ferry
@365projectorgchristine Thanks for viewing and commenting Christine.
@tosee Thanks Tom.
@shutterbug49 Glad you found all 8. At first I didn't see one of them, but the more I looked I realized what I thought was a leg was a head. Thanks Debbie.
@bkbinthecity Thanks Brian. Glad you liked it.
@kjarn It does Kathy, and it could have. There was more room on the end of the top log that was cut off for this photo. Thank you.
@jamibann Thanks Issi.
@casablanca He's so big. The "wave" is actually the head of a smaller turtle under or beside him. Thanks Casa.
@ziggy77 Thanks Jo.
@mcsiegle Not an old photo. I posted yesterday and took on Saturday. The colors are what they were Saturday. We'd had a big rain Friday so I guess the murky water was caused by the rain. Thanks Mary.
@craftymeg Thanks Meg. Maybe it got on with them after awhile, or maybe it likes a solitary life.
@fbailey Thanks Felicity.
@olivetreeann Glad you saw all of them. One was sort of hidden by the big turtle.

@randystreat Ah! I see. It was an old week’s theme in the 52 week challenge. I thought you meant it was an old picture. I love all those little turtles in one image. As I said, I’m especially fond of turtles.
October 24th, 2023  
Lovely capture.
October 24th, 2023  
@mcsiegle I've got more old themes hanging around. One day i'll be caught up.
@haskar Thank you Hannah.
