CLOSE TO THE CREATURES WITH PAPA - RED EARED SLIDER

For big fresh-water turtles, this is a nice one!


I remember going to Florida for a vacation once as a young child. I was amazed at how cool looking the big freshwater turtles were. Yesterday, when @bluerthangreen and @papa-pepper were coming home from work, we saw this one on the road.

Not being the type to run over turtles or leave them there for others to run over, we turned around and helped it out. Obviously, I chose to take some photos too! Turtles are my favorite animals. This one was pretty shy, but I still got some good face shots when it peeked out of its shell a little bit.

As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

You as a person trained in photography become more attention to the details of change, be it a cultural change, urban architecture to the way of thinking and the views of villagers to the city. You who have a hobby and duty to perpetuate life in the picture, pay attention to all things and record it as Part of your life and part of the process of maturity of your work. You ve beutiful pict. Im still learning about photography rite now.
