These girls come crawling thru the yard every spring looking for a safe place to lay there eggs. This one looked really old her shell had several deep old scars. I carried her down along a farm field near the meadow so she could find a good place to lay her eggs.

I like the head-up position Jack, that and the clear eye ake this for me. Good detail and perfect exposure too.
