Great pics as always.  Love turtles, spent hundreds of hours as a lad hunting for eastern box turtles, and feeding them berries and worms.  A friend and I got really good at catching eastern painted turtles from a canoe.  One of the best jobs i ever had was fishing for snappers at an exotic waterfowl park one summer.  Golf cart, lawn chair and bait was provided, and drinking beer was encouraged.  NOT a bad way to earn an hourly wage.

Thanks!   Ever hear the expression, "like a herd of turtles"?   I slipped up to that rock on my float tube (no camera, I was fishing) to see if I could nab one......the herd took off.   I grabbed the last one.  He shouldn't have hesitated.   I gandered at him for a bit then let him go.  They are cool.  They have hell claws, like a badger.  THey must dig to burrow I guess.
