What a Beauty of a catch of this Handsome Turtle.Couple of years back I happened to go to the trout hatchery in Dec, when there was Ice on the waters surface. In the turtle pond you could see several of these AMAZING fellows moving around under the Ice.
I NEVER BELIEVED the Stories about that behavior . Having seen it for my self I have to say it was a very
SURPRISING EXPERIENCE ...

Nice catch, well done #10509465Michelle Alton January 11, 2013
And you got a fantastic shot of him. Just beautiful. Turtles are always sliding off their logs the moment I'm about to press the shutter! #10509704Tammy Espino February 25, 2013
