Believe it or not this is a turtle at the local neighborhood park in Otay Ranch community (Chula Vista, CA). The turtles like to lay out when the sun comes out and toast their shells a bit. I snapped these quick shots during a children's photo shoot in October 2011 down by the grassy hills from the pond. It is amazing how fast the weather changes in San Diego. Since it has gotten alot colder this December I have not seen these turtle dudes. I am sure lucky to get these shots. Also, they are quite sneaky and quickly jump back in the water after even just hearing voices coming close to them. I literally crawled to get these close up shots but I would say it was well worth it.
