Slow and Steady

Actually turtles in water are not that slow. Taking these pics was as much luck as skill.

Spotting a pond slider:

Sneaking up on it.

Carefully.

Onward, peering through the walk railings….

And if you’re wondering how I was able to consistently catch one turtle in view so much when they are fast in the water… there were actually twoturtles.

(There were actually at least three, but the Florida softshell is very, very fast indeed, and ducked before I got any pics at all.)
