How large was the baby snapping turtle? I can't really tell from the pic, but the detail of it is really good.
ReplyDeleteThe baby Snapper was about 2 inches, including the tail.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, as usual. Loved the Aster and the turtle.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the snapping turtle, I thought you'd been wandering about the gulf shore down here.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted a turtle as a pet.
ReplyDeleteWhen I get back to Newport, you're giving me a tour!
ReplyDeleteThe turtle is an amazing shot, but I may like the swan photo even better. Your photographic work is really special stuff.
