Turtle Photos from a Beautiful Day

Gene and I went and walked nine holes of golf. I won for a change. The turtles were out and the water was calm making for some nice photos.

The first photo almost looks like 3 stacked on top of each other. You wouldn't think they could pull themselves up on those logs.

Jeanne, there used to be another bigger log. They love them, I guess they get their sun and have the water around for protection?? The log is usually crowded, now that there is just the one. :)

They look pretty darn happy to be having a January day in the sun - and that's a little one in the middle, right?

Regina, Yes a little one, he was going to get up on the log then saw me and dove down deeper. The big ones seem to be used to people and don't dive. The big ones are about 12-16 inches long - the shell part. Maybe more. They are neat to watch.

Jo: What cool photos. Those turtles seem to be having a fun time sunning themselves.

Jo Castillo said...

fishing guy, there are many photos of them on my blog. They just sit and pose usually. The water was clear, too. Sometimes it isn't!
