Camera Critters - Turtles
These are the turtles of U.C. Riverside's Botanical Gardens. There's a small pond towards the back below the higher level where the rose garden is. There were a lot of turtles lined up on the log and then several climbing the side of the hill. They made a terrific sounding plop in the water as I walked up, scared them and then dove in the water.

Great shots!
I do love turtles. They are so calming -- taking life at a slow pace ... something we all should take note of! Thank you!
Great shots! They certainly made me smile :)
The caption for that second shot should be, 'outta my way fellows, this is my shot.' :)
Great shots - a nice reflection too.
My post is here: Carletta’s Captures.
