Laying her Clutch

Soft shelled turtle laying her eggs. When I was riding my bike earlier had seen 4 soft shelled turtles on or near the walking path. Only had a kit lens with me, took a photo, but could not get very close, before they in very rapid movements were in the water. After my ride I went home and got my "big boy" and Pam and I went back to the lake.

I like the view of the turtle here. A very long neck!

What a great shot. I love the focus, dof and pose!

Love the pose - hope the predators leave the eggs and hatchlings alone.

And another terrific capture :)

Nice capture and well spotted. Lovely makings on her neck.

Good shots. If you only have one lens, it seems Murphy's law it will be the wrong lens when you really want a shot.

Great use of dof and an excellent pov!She looks like just about to climb over:)

Lovely, clear details here... good shot.

I love the POV - the water in the background and how you've caught her lovely green coloring.
