You have to be as patient as a turtle to get a shot of them. There are a few painted turtles in the lake.

Thank you so much, Leslie, Gus, Fern, Rigs, Diane, Ingrid, and Juanita, for the wonderful comments! I know you have appreciated my patience to get this shot. I pretty much had to stay immobile because, indeed, turtles get easily scared and run away.

Oh, a turtle! How rare is it! Wonderful capture! As gusbuster said, thanks for being the patient one! This should be an AC just for you getting it in your camera!

Rigs, thanks for writing again! It is good to know that someone else thinks the same.

About belletrouvaille
belletrouvaille May 19, 2010: I carry my camera everywhere since I never know what I will encounter on my way. That is why I added "trouvaille" (good find) to my name. Didn't my dog find a good one to cuddle by? It had been a long sleep since I decided to post on WunderPhotos. (it still took me a month after I registered with it) This is more fun than Facebook! (though I have never had a Facebook account) Thank you for all your amazing photos that have inspired me day by day! Notes: 1. I don't edit my photos other than slight cropping, though I am aware of the old ways of changing results in the darkroom and admire what people can do nowadays on the computer. 2. With very few exceptions, I post photos in a series in chronological order from left to right and don't jump dates back and forth.
