On our one sunny day this week, I went back to the Bird Sanctuary and found these guys soaking up that sunshine!



And then the leafy, watery reflections that I'm so nuts about!!







I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.

    I have some shots of turtles sitting on a log like that...I almost posted them today but decided to wait until next week. I must have had a premonition! Aren't they SO sweet?!

    Love your turtles all lined up! If I had seen them, I would still be there taking photos from so many angles.

    The water looks so peaceful.

    The last one has a beautiful reflection of the clouds.

    The water is so green, looks so refreshing and the turtles would enjoy a swim!

    I love turtles and the reflection is great but there is nothing quite like leaves reflecting on the water. I especially like the last one with the leaves, clouds and a touch of blue sky.

    Ah, your turtles look very contented sunning out on that log. If you disturb them they will slid off into the water with a plop, so shhhh... Don't disturb.
