Turtles all the way down!

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Well, what do you know, it really isturtles all the way down“!

[Turtles all the way down!]

This is a group of sliders (I think! Someone correct me if I’m wrong) I saw while on the way to work. This group was actually difficult to photograph, for the simple reason that they are incredibly easy to spook. Getting even a little close to them results in them, well, sliding off their log and disappearing into the water.

This is in fact the second time I stopped at this little pond to photograph these turtles. The first time, they were gone the moment I set the tripod down. I suppose if I want better pictures of turtles in the future, I should invest in a better telephoto lens?


And as always, visit the Friday Ark for more animal friends!
