Turtle Love

Take at Calvert Cliffs State Park in southern Maryland

very nice :)) very pretty :))

Very nice photo. Once I was speeding at about 100MPH along the Trans-Canada in NW Ontario, on my motorcycle, and saw this pokey painted turtle up ahead on the road. I passed it, but then slammed on the brakes, turned the bike around, parked it, and then went and picked poor pokey up and placed him in the lake about 50 yards away. I still remember that sentimental moment, about 27 years ago. ;*)

Very good picture. The reflection creates a good composition. There is a bit of glare on the shells, I don't know if that could have been avoided.
