05Aug05 Staying Cool on a Hot Summer Day - 4491

Connecticut

Photo a Day, Day 128...Well I suppose it isn't really hot compared to Arizona where I grew up but hot for Connecticut at least :) Took this shot this afternoon after noticing my son had set his toy turtle from Grandma up on the side of his wading pool so it could sun itself..

Decided to head out and try to get a few more of the whales that weren't out the last time I had gone out. Managed to photograph 6 more. So I now have photos of 45 of the 50 whales in "The Whale" gallery. I have 5 left to do. Hoping to get one of them tomorrow - we are heading to Brooklyn to get the one at the New York Aquarium...

I believe the elusive Wading Pool Turtle may be an endangered species CJ!
Good job of capturing it while catching some rays : )

The turtle has such a content, happy look on his face ... it was nice that he would smile for you! ;)

Nice turtle, I think my daughters have the same pool.

LOL... and I like the way you focused on the turtle, and the colors are rich and beautiful.
