Comments on: "Photo Friday" (31)
Wow… excellent click 🙂
Very peaceful and “floaty”, great shot!
yes, dreamy floaty;) Thanks Christina
A charming turtle in his own special element. Oh, how I envy the pace of his life right now. 🙂
I agree, the swamp is looking pretty good:)
He’s so gorgeous! And you always manage to capture something “other” than the actual subject – I’m not sure what exactly it is, but there’s always something very unique to you about the colour and shapes you find..
Much appreciated Cath!! I’m actually drawn to your work for similar reasons. There’s always MORE even while elegant and essential.
What a beauty. Hw far is this swamp from your house? Lots of beauty there.
One entrance is only about a couple of miles away. It’s literally called The Great Swamp. Thanks Jill!
Very beautiful is the turtle. I like orange spots on the shell, if it were painted!
Thank you for sharing!
You have a wonderful weekend, dear Elena!
Big hugs, much love, Stefania! 🙂
You’re right Stefania, it’s called a Painted Turtle:) Great weekend to you!
What a great photograph Elena. We have a pond behind us and one across the street, and these guys used our yard as their pathway! And every year yard a baby turtle ends up in the pool, and every once in a while a very large adult turtle will be taking a swim too, and in both cases very funny watching us try to get them out. Wonderful colors on the turtle you have here!
Thanks Mary! Swimming with the turtles, sounds like fun:)
I went..”Ooo”…such a cute little fella!! 🙂
They are pretty cute. Thanks Shree!
A painted turtle by an artist…very fitting! I love seeing these guys bask when they come up from the mud. Haven’t seen one yet this year.
Aren’t they fascinating? The’ll be coming soon! Thanks Scilla.
He’s a colourful little fellow. Love that you captured his reach.
Thanks Richard
Striking presence, Casual but undeterred they float like dudes on Harley. Too much, right? I know…
They are pretty cool:)
A stranger to me, but what a wonderful pattern! I like the colour harmony within the picture – those touches of orange that give a little lift.
A painted turtle. I like the orange too. Thanks Louis.
Oh, how cute 🙂
🙂
Oh, you found one! : ) It’s a bit too cold here – freezing rain, snow and ice pellets.
That little foot is so sweet. Did you have a polarizing filter on your lens whe you made this picture? It’s great!
Yes, I did use a polarizing filter. But, it popped off the lens into the swamp just after shooting this picture. Time for a new filter and more attention to fitting it better:) The swamp is just FULL of turtles sunning. I spied only one little frog. We had a very warm snap and now a cooler one, but nothing like snow and ice. I do adore turtles. Hope you’ll see some soon!
Elena, I simply LOVE turtles. Maybe, just maybe, you might find a turtle inspiring enough to do a watercolor of one. 😉
Maybe…;)
Cool shot 🙂
Thanks Allyson Marie:)
