The Straggler

There is a log out in the middle of the pond in Wychwood Park that is a favourite spot for the turtles to catch some sun but last week on a coolish day the sun had gone in and so had all of the turtles except this one. I was zooming in to catch a pic of him but he really looked as if he was watching me too.

    This turtle was keeping an eye on you to make sure you photographed his best side.

    Great photo!
    Turtles definitely have their eye on me. As soon as they see me, splash! they are gone!
    I have to be real quiet and sneak up on them to get photos.
    Have a wonderful weekend!

    Looks a little like he might be riding on the back of a -- CROCODILE! :-)
