I came across these painted turtles basking in the the warm July sun. It was one of those perfect mornings when the temperature was just right and the mood nice and relaxed. Sometimes turtles can be easily scared off when they sense your presence but not that day. They were nicely lined up and the water lilies provides an additional note of interest to the scene.

Save them every year this time of year, as they commute across busy roads.
Beautiful they are! Love seeing them sunning on the logs. Could relate to the picture.

Good of you! The park service at the reserve this photo was taken have removed the curb in the parking area to give the hatchlings a means of crossing the roadway. They are wonderful creatures.

The turtles sit patiently for the show to start as the water water lilies spring to life with their flowery blooms
