Painted Turtle

This sleeping turtle is suspended under a thin layer of ice with black and white
flecks trapped in it. Usually snapping turtles are seen too in this small creek
every fall just before they dig into the mud for the winter but not this year.

Andrew Haydon Park, Ottawa

Fascinating shot of this turtle just below the ice. It had better dig in soon.

The water hs been so murky you couldn't see a thing but since Monday it cleared right up - until it get covered in snow.

A nice sharp shot Linda. The creek water is surprisingly clear.
