I got a photo of a painted turtle sunning on some logs, down at the lake yesterday

brilliant photo

Oh now hes another handsome fella. Would love him here but think our winters a little harsh for him.

Good one, Flcrazy. :o)

Wow, brilliant photo Flcrazy!!

Brilliant pic, the colours spot on..

He's beautiful

He's a beauty! the painted turtles we see up here are the little ones in the pet stores!

Wonderful shot. Are there many of them in the wild near you?

Thanks everyone !
Yes Jess, we actually have too many of them..lol. You can't use an old fashion stringer to put your fish on anymore. You have to keep your fish in a metal wire basket now. If you use a stringer, half of your fish have been eaten alive by the turtles while you're trying to catch more fish !
