Turtles

This time of year it isn't unusual to see adult Eastern Painter Turtles (Chrysemys picta picta) walking through our yard looking for a place to lay their eggs, but I almost mistook this baby turtle for a stone while mowing my lawn.



Even climbing over mushrooms was a challenge.



This little guy is an exact scaled down version of an adult.



Blades of grass seemed like trees to this little guy.



After a few photos I gave this little guy a ride to our cabin and released him in a pond full of turtles.
