20150430 317 SERIES - Snapping Turtle and Painted Turtles.jpg

Ottawa West

Three images entitled: "There's No Mountain Too High". BUT! Negotiating down the far slope, might be a challenge.

Top Image: The small Painted Turtle appeared to want to join its mate on the far side of the log. But, there was a small obstacle in the way; namely, a BIG Snapper. No problem, "I can climb over that!" thought the little Turtle.


Having reached the summit, the small Turtle wisely decided that it might be best to turn back as the BIG fella was wide awake and looking up.


And down it goes from whence it came.

A very funny serie of images. It was a good idea to go back knowing the power of that big mouth.
