Turtles

There are 13 turtles or parts of turtles on this log. Liked the way they were lined up. This shot was taken in late morning light, but, by the time I had moved to a better location they had all slipped back into the water.

What a grouping? What kind are they, John? Your perspective was not optimal, but this is an interesting capture. The water texture/reflections make an interesting foreground, but the snags tend to grab the eye.

Great moment, John. I love how the five in the middle are all facing the same way - would've liked to see them a little closer. :toast:
