Common Snapping Turtle | Close up

Common Snapping Turtle | Close Up  Spring brings new life.  It’s time for turtles to lay eggs.  This Common Snapping Turtle came out onto cut grass in the warmth of the sun to lay her eggs.  Notice her eyes; completely camouflaged.  The Nikon 1 V1 with the 70-300mm (focal length 810mm) lens allowed me to stay far enough away to not disturb her.  For the whole story with all images, see Common Snapping Turtle | a 7 Image Story.
