Someday I'll get to live the turtle life. Not a care in the world, just out sunning myself.

That is a cool set up.

Lots of turtles on the Huron River, three types mostly.

Saw a large snapper a few feet from me while in the kayak yesterday, he gave me the "who are you look" before going under my craft.

I love these turtle pictures. They look like they are living in turtle heaven.

The last pic (in post #22), I had the phone/camera within 6 inches of the turtles face.
She has her paw up..as to say "get that thing out of my face"

She's a laugh. I like the way she blocks the way to the buffet and says "I'm not guilty of anything. I just happen to be standing here."

size and weight means everything in the turtle kingdom.

I can't get within 30'.... and that's being stealthy when they are snoozing in the sun. And turtles can scoot to pond safety in a split second too! Yers are spoiled rotten

Turtles in the wild are super timid. I've caught a few when they were trying to cross the road.
They cannot be tamed to live with the others. They will try to escape 24/7.

They may not be the smartest critters...but their sense of smell and hearing is excellent.
