Trachemys scripta elegans
This is a juvenile Red-eared Slider turtle was sun bathing on a rock at the Fullerton Arboretum, Ca. The turtle and I were watching each other for a while. And as you can tell, he (or she) got comfortable with me being around, as he layed there stretching too.
These pix are so cool especially the one of the turtle stretching! Vibrant colors.

ReplyDeleteAfter spending nearly a whole night without sleep, as my little son was waking up too often, would love to spend a few hours becoming your turtle, stretching for life and its many surprises.
ReplyDeleteVery good photography of yours!
