It’s fuzzy and out of focus, but while on the walk today I saw this slider turtle in the creek. It was unseasonably warm today, and this guy was taking advantage of the sunshine to catch some heat on his favorite rock.
Normally, they sense the vibrations of your walking and swim away to escape, but this one didn’t -I stood and watched him for 3 or 4 minutes. I actually though he was ill, he was so still, but then he decided to slide into the water and get away right after I took this photo.
