Those are big, beautiful red eared sliders.
My personal favorites! 🙂
They certainly have a beauty all their own. It’s like the sun is radiating off of them. So cool!
I always enjoy seeing them sunning around the lake. The habitat just wouldn’t seem right without them.
Hello. It’s been years and years since I’ve seen a turtle. I live in built-up suburbia, so there’s probably no turtles around here. But I occasionally am in pretty natural areas. Haven’t seen any there either, but maybe I just wasn’t paying attention.
I guess returning to the same places frequently, I have learned where I am most likely to see turtles in our area and always look for them there.
These are great shots up close of the turtles – a wide variety. The first picture with the complete reflections of the turtles on the water and the shell that looks golden is really amazing.
Thanks, Linda! I really appreciate it. The first photo is one of those cases where the afternoon sun was shining through the trees just right. 🙂
You’re very welcome Rebecca. That shell glowed like a beacon!
