Today my Dad Sue and I rented a three person canoe from the UW and went canoeing through the marshes and under the 520 freeway (which was kind of spooky). We ended up seeing baby ducks, turtles, geese, blue herons, and hundreds of ducks! They all came pretty close to use because they are used to being fed; and they would even nip out of our hands. This turtle is one of the last turtles up on the log because we scared away the rest of them. While we were taking pictures our canoe drifted pretty close into the log, so this turtle didn't stick around either--- but we got some pretty good pictures of him.

Yes, you did get some good pictures of the turtles all right--I'd say yours were the best.
ReplyDeleteSue did some digging tonight and found that it's called a Red-Eared Slider.
What a fun day, and you've posted an awesome picture to remember it by!
