Snapping Turtle

Nepean (Ottawa) Ontario Canada

The snapping turtles in this one area come very close to the boardwalk looking for food from visitors and this one was no exception. The only exception was that this one did not mind coming within meters and posing for me. This is the closest that I have dared to take a photo of an active snapper. :-)

My lens was only inches from him so I am assuming it was focused in on its reflection. I was more concerned that it would try to bite my lens! :-)

A super shot Catherine. Were you using fingers as bait? ;)
