Painted Turtle


 









Last week it was a snapping turtle. This week it was painted turtles. I've seen several of them but this one stood out from the rest. When I came across it, I was driving down a forest road and it was on the edge of the road. As I slowly drove by, it turned and hightailed it into the ditch. I stopped to watch as it crawled down the bank, thinking I would see it crawl up the opposite side. Instead, it had turned around and a few seconds later it crawled back up and was peering at me from the edge of the ditch, presumably waiting for me to move along so it could go back to its business.
