On the banks of Beaver River, Cannington, Ontario
A walk on a sunny day last week was made even nicer when my camera spotted this turtle sunning himself beside the Beaver River. He/ she wasn't paying the slightest bit of attention to me!
Nearby, these plants were growing: forget-me-nots (Myosotis scorpioides), tufted vetch (Vicia cracca), fleabane (Erigeron philadelphicus), swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) and bullhead lily (Nuphar variegatum).

Nice collage.
ReplyDeleteI love turtles and you captured a great one. That orange thing popping out of the water is Just Strange. An Alien Plant.

Stunning collage! I love it when I spot turtles or tortoises on a walk! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI had a turtle visit me the other morning. The dogs where barking like crazy and I went to look and there was a turtle on the other side of the fence from them. I turned him around and he headed out of the yard.
ReplyDeleteI love the great reflection on htat yellow flower, beautiful.
This is a lovely collage. Usually when I see the turtles, they jump back into the water before I can snap a shot. You're lucky he posed for you!
ReplyDeleteBy the looks of this collage, you certainly had a lovely walk. Well done! ~karen

Wonderful shots from your walk and that's a great one of the turtle. I find turtle difficult to get in the right light.
ReplyDeleteVery cool collage of nature shots. The turtle was very cute. I looked for some at our local pond over the weekend and I could not find one. Good to come here and see this one.

It must take a long time or a lot of sun for the turtle to get warm up with it's thick shell. Great find.
ReplyDeleteLove this collage ... a little of everything and all beautiful .. the turtle is great!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Nature mosaic! The flowers are pretty and a great capture of the turtle.
ReplyDeleteTurtles are fun to photograph when they are out of their shell. This one has on a handsome shell. The flowers are beautiful. Nice collage.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful collage! Lucky you, to have found such a cooperative turtle.
ReplyDeleteI love all the flowers that you are able to ID...and of course the turtle. I noticed that my common milkweed is coming up well across the pond..but I haven't seen a single monarch yet.....it was a hard winter for them....Michelle
