Early every morning I check the skimmers of our swimming pool, looking for critters that became trapped in them during the night. This morning, I found this beautiful little Red-eared Slider, egg tooth included, in a skimmer. I put a brick in the shade on our poolside table, placed the turtle on a broad purple coneflower leaf atop the brick, and captured this image.
Note how the color themes of the shell carry over onto the face, the skin around it, and the legs. Sorry his neck was not extended enough to show those red ears!
All C & C are welcome!
