Along with the turtles enjoying the warm autumn days last week were the bees. So guesting this week is the bee.
Also included is a link to Dominique’s Animated GIF blog (here), which helps explain how the tortoise really beat the hare in that race.

Turtle Thursday – Heads Up – Photography
10/08/2015A nice warm autumn day brought the turtles out for a little sunbathing. As for the lone turtle looking the wrong way, there’s always one in the crowd.

Turtle Thursday – Guest Bighorn Sheep – Photography
09/10/2015There’s not much water for turtles here in the Badlands of South Dakota, so our guest today is this bighorn sheep. It was a long way up the ridge to get here and it cost two Clif Bars for the pose. The technical details are; uncropped, 55mm, f6.3, 1/100 sec, ISO 100 and shake reduction on for the photographer.

Turtle Thursday – Guest Cat – Photography
09/04/2015Two things are wrong with this week’s Turtle Thursday. The first and obvious thing, this is Friday. The second and not so obvious, there is no turtle. So until I find more turtle pictures, filling in as a guest turtle this week is Big Boy.

My goal last week was to make friends with this guy and get a better picture. Here he is again as another bonus photo and just a little friendlier.

Turtle Thursday – What’s In Your Shell? – Photography
08/13/2015What’s in your wallet shell?
And a bonus image below since the guy above was a little camera-shy, slipping under the water too quickly, making my only opportunity a rather long distance photo.

08/06/2015This one had his eyes on me.

Turtle Thursday – Yellow-bellied Slider and Child? – Photography
07/30/2015Look in the water just in front of the log (click on the image to enlarge).
My best guess for both is yellow-bellied slider. Although, they’re a bit out of their range here.

Turtle Thursday – Kermit And Turtle – Photography
07/16/2015I was fortunate to find Kermit sitting on a lily pad watching the dragonflies, hoping one would come close enough for dinner, when his friend, Mr. Turtle, decided to pop up and photobomb both.
