must be very shy creatures. What a beautiful place - to bad it's so close to a busy road. It looks like it would be a great spot to sit and relax (while you wait for the turtles to come back out)
Sorry the turtles are so hard to catch, they do that to me too as I walk around the pond to the side where they are sunning themselves. The photo is stunning, the wildflowers are so pretty.
You have no idea how happy I am to have this picture. This swamp is right on top of a very busy road that connects nearby towns. The speed limit is 55+ and there isn't a shoulder. Needless to say, my car was in the lane- oops! So every day that I take my bf to work in the mornings, I drive past this swamp and I always see tons, maybe 10-20 turtles out basking in the sun. This is very cool to me because I have two painted turtles at home. So I've been trying all month to catch these guys. Problem is, they aren't accustom to people stopping on this very busy road. So I'd pull over on my way back to work, slam my car door and they'd hop in the water. Another time, my battery died as the last one jumped in. But this time, I caught one (even though there were at least 20 out when I pulled over.)
