Turtle, turtle

Turtles are great. Seeing a turtle usually makes my day. I actually have a little stone turtle on my night stand. They can teach us a thing or two about pacing ourselves and taking life in stride. However, these guys you're looking at were actually really fast swimmers. I kept trying to compose a shot with both of them together, but they were all over the place. Finally I got this one, but barely, because as you can see, the little dude is about to swim offscreen. I found this to be a new lesson - one will thrive when in the right environment.
