About This Image
With our first sunny morning in a week, I went to visit the turtles along the C&O canal. They were out in force mostly cruising in water with a few sunning themselves. This big Snapping Turtle rose to the surface as I watched. It’s head was at least 3 inches wide…
Feedback Requested
This is a warm water “pool” so there’s lots of duckweed. In some places completely covering the water. I like the clear look at it’s eye and how the body disappears in the murky water.
