I seem to have a knack for rescuing turtles from the middle of the road down here in Florida! Here is a blog I wrote a few years ago about the experience. Love your photos!
I had a terrapin called ‘Mr Mcawber’ when i was living at my mum and dad’s home and when we wnet on holiday he was looked after by our very sweet elderly next door neighbour . Needless to say i loved Mr Mcawber very much.
On the day we got back, my terrapin was posted, dead, thru our letter box by our neighbour – he had died while we were away and she was very nervous about telling us this. Unbelievable but true. She has since gone to the great Terrapin in the sky.
I’m going to follow your blog now. Anyone who likes turtles is worth paying attention to. :0)
I have a 12-year-old red-eared slider named Turtimus Maximus. Had a box turtle named Humbug when I was a kid. Collect turtle figurines. I’m a bit obsessed…
The last photograph of a turtle I took was actually in a fish tank at a local pizza place. I couldn’t help myself.

I love turtles too – I always image they have the voice like the one out of “Never ending Story” 🙂

We always had pet turtles when I was growing up, so I am quite fond of them as well.

Those are big turtles! I’ve just been finding baby ones like the one we got a couple of weeks ago from the pond. Thanks for sharing!
