Awesome shot :thumbup
At first glance, I actually thought the turtles are on top the back of a crocodile. The log has that greenish discoloration due to moss maybe and hence my perceived illusion....

Turtles are camera shy I think
I wish that was the case. They always have their back exposed to the sun in the morning so thay can warm up. The problem is I need a row boat to get to their front side.
Not true... not true. My ex lives in a house. No zoo would take her. :24:

At least you've got a nice shot of their butt :thumbup :24: :24:
True dat. There's even some mud left on the smaller one.The turtles aren't back... they were always there, just buried under the mud
** Memo to self: Next year name the thread ... " The turtles have emerged from the mud again and are sunning themselves in order to warm up so in a round about way they are back even though they never really left.... it just looked like they left which they did but only into the mud and just for a few months. **

But it has always amazed me that turtles can swim to the bottom of the lake/pond, dig into the mud and stay submerged for months at a time without breathing...
I understand that they take in small amounts of oxygen from the water through the lining of their mouths... but still... amazing

I've never researched them cuz... well they are just turtles. I'm going to update myself now though because you've peeked my interest being the nature lover what I is. I will specifically be looking for info on " Painted Turtles " because that's what our resident turtle lady called them last year.
An interesting read Tim the Turtle Guy...
" In this state, the turtle does not breathe, although if surroundings allow, it may get some oxygen through its skin.[122] The species is one of the best-studied vertebrates able to survive long periods without oxygen. "

I have quite a few turtle shots but not the one I want yet. Here's a few more from previous years.For a moment, I thought it was a taxi ride too- I got a pic like that
A bit more from the side...
I'm not sure if he's sunning himself or passing wind.
