This small one was basking in the sunshine - about 15cm (6 inches)in length. It's shedding
some shell as it grows some more.



Then this one emerged and crawled up the log behind it. I was able to get some photos
before the guy in a blue kayak paddled by right beside the log scaring them away. He makes a habit of
doing this when he sees photographers - grrrr.
