Wetlands resident

There were a lot of turtles enjoying the wetlands of Heritage Island, located in the Washington, D.C., part of the Anacostia River. I thought this one was particularly nice looking.

Excellent capture of this seriously swimming turtle.It does look like one of the exotic red-eared sliders. V

That reminds me of the red-eared slider turtles that are sold as pets.

Great to capture one swimming! I only ever see them hanging out on logs.
