After a fairly uneventful morning, I happened upon this turtle and well, I'll let the pictures explain...

These are just two from a sequence of about 10 capturing the whole proces...

Unfortunately these were taken in direct sunlight (I couldn't tell her to move!) and the composition isn't the best. But I feel the content makes up for the quality... in all my years messing around outdoors I've never seen anything like it...

Scott, very nice. And you didn't mind watching and she didn't mind you there. That's great.
