The Blandings Turtle is easily identifiable by the bright yellow throats that they have. Even the old turtles retain this wonderful color!!

Wonderful capture, Derek. I have never ever seen such a turtle (but then don't get to hang out in the swamp too much). Interesting that his throat blends with the bg. #1206918Patricia Seidler November 19, 2009
Terrific detail, color and closeup of this turtle Derek. Love the expression! #8143986Jack Gaskin November 19, 2009
A Beauty. Looks as healthy as any I've ever seen.Funny how they are the last to hibernate and first to wake.
Happy Shooting
