Snapping turtle taking a peek at the surface.

Put a GPS tracker on an Emys orbicularis (European pond turtle) trying to make a nest. It wasn't a good idea. She started walking in circles. Removed it. Now she's laying eggs,

Learning a new language is a lot like being a turtle…

Slow and steady wins the race!
Every little word, every tiny step—it all adds up.

Keep going, even if you feel like you’re crawling.
You’ll get there!

My daughter spotted this eastern box turtle transiting the backyard this morning. It was, perhaps, a little camera shy.

My career as a nature documentary cameraman begins with this little guy we found trying to cross the street in our suburban neighborhood.

Reflections of Still Waters

This is a pond slider turtle (Trachemys scripta) resting on a log in the heart of Kisatchie Lake, nestled within Louisiana’s Kisatchie National Forest. The forest’s reflection in the lake adds a striking, almost dreamlike quality to the scene—something I find particularly captivating.

Found a little pop of colour, matching my shirt :
a Midland Painted Turtle hatchling, far away from any water. She slept in my hands while I carried her 2 km to the nearest pond.
Who knows how she got on that dusty logging road.
Good luck, little one.
