    Sorry w/o feathers I'm lousy at IDing. ne_nau.gif Nice shots, a polarizer would have helped to tame the reflections on the second shots.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    The far left turtle in the first shot has a red streak on his head, we call them 'red-cheak-turtles' here (no joke), that's as scientific as a name I know :D

    Nice captures. I try to get a couple of turtles also but didn't succeed as jet.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I'm definatly no expert on turtles, but that one with the red stripe onthe side of it's head is probably a Red Ear Slider. The one on the cog might be a Chicken Turtle...ne_nau.gif

    I'm a Terrapin (UMD, GO TERPS!) but obviously don't know much about turtles :)
