The painted turtle was soaking up the sun on a fine summer morning. Often they crowd together on the same log. This one chose a solitary perch.

Delightful creatures. Just a few weeks ago I posted a poem about my own encounters with painted turtles in the New Jersey woods.

Hopefully this turtle is having a nice muddy slumber with warm dreams while we endure the coming winter. Nice shot, Belinda.

There’s something to be said for hibernation, it’s mighty cold here😏. Thank you, Steve.

They’re so pretty! Reminds me of our pet red-eared turtle from childhood days. How big is this painted turtle?

This one was mid size though they never get too large. They have very attractive colouring too.

We saw turtles that size in the Okanagan when we lived there many years ago, Probably painted turtles, but I’m not sure now. I wasn’t as in tune with my surroundings (types of wildlife, etc.) then as I am now.
