Today’s Image | Turtle on Concrete

5/027/2023 Today's Image | Turtle on Concrete

Today’s Image | Turtle on Concrete   This Painted Turtle was crossing a driveway headed for the street.  After capturing a few images, it moved right into the street and started to follow the gutters going uphill.  Obviously, this route would probably not end well for the turtle.  So, I picked it up with gloves and moved it to some woods with a nice shallow lake just down a short hill. (This image again used a 10mm extension tube to focus so closely.)  Note: I post an image most days at hankconrad.com.
