I shot this pic about 1 hour ago during a walk through Wychwood Park which is a private enclave, in the middle of the city, of 60 spectacular Arts & Crafts homes built around a pond in the early 1900s. It has been a bit cool here so I was surprised to see a couple of the resident Midland Painted Turtles out basking in the sun - a good looking couple don't you think?
Click on the Wychwood label below to see some of the houses I have posted in the past and also the turtle sign!
Lovely shot! - summer is definitely on the way!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a very nice area...it seems that we need water and parks inside the urban areas to make them more liveable, and also to give our turtle friends a place to live out their lives in relative peace. Nice shot!
ReplyDeleteLove them!
ReplyDeleteWell captured Red Pat!
So cute! I see these guys at the golf course alot. :)
ReplyDeleteSomething so divine about building homes around water, and of course, you know how I love turtles :-).
ReplyDeleteLove is in the air. :)
ReplyDeleteIt IS cool today so I too am surprised they are out. The sun is lovely so it must feel good on their shells.
ReplyDeleteA very handsome couple and obviously very happy that it is Spring!
ReplyDeleteLove that shade of green, and the turtles are an added bonus!
ReplyDeleteOh, if there's anything I love it's a photo of turtles basking on a log in the water. Wonderful, Pat!
ReplyDeleteK
RedPat this is a beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteI looked at the homes previously posted and see it is a neighborhood I would love.
Hi RP. Re your comment on Ocala DP: you have a droll sense of humor. I like it!
ReplyDeleteA fine place and a fine photo, RedPat.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I clicked on the Wychwood link, as you commanded. Isn't it time for you and your camera to take another tour of the neighborhood? It looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteToo cute.
ReplyDeleteCute and romantic
ReplyDeleteLike the composition. The reflection of the large tree completes a wonderful shot. Then, there are the turtles ... love 'em!
ReplyDeleteThey make a cute couple!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, they look like they are enjoying the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteCool shot! Love turtles, I kept several species and a tortoise at my parents' house.
