Wow, two really great shots, Hank. Does its tail really have those "thorns" which make
it look like a dinosaur? Amazing. ~

Nice find especially so camouflaged with the green algae on them. Excellent job! :-))

I really have a special fondness for these poor creatures, so slow moving and so prone to getting hit by cars (I've rescued several this season so far). This is an excellent set of images.

Beautifully shot Hank, really impressive this turtle

Amazing! Watch your fingers... ;-)
Never seen a photo from out of the water and thus never realised the dinosaur-tail they have...

What a prehistoric beast! Nice find.

Nice shots Hank. It looks pretty impressive and judging from the surrounding vegetation, quite a size as well.
