Midland Painted Turtle

Midland Painted Turtle

I was just checking Facebook and saw the Springmill Learning Center's post about the Painted Turtle.  It reminded me that I have not shown my shots of them from this spring.  Part of the reason is that I have had my computer up on blocks for that last week or two.  Much repair was needed.  I am just starting to emerge from that difficult time.

 This shot reminds me how I felt when I called the nature center to report a turtle sitting along the path around the pond.  I was afraid that it was hurt when in fact it was laying eggs.  I knew about sea turtles going inland to lay their eggs but I had not thought about our painted turtles do that also.

Winking Midland Painted Turtle

The same turtle is now winking good-bye for now.
