They (painted turtles) are not overly timid, in that one can sometimes get a little closer to one of them before it would have slid off into the water. In this case, however, the turtle was sunning itself, sitting near the top of a mostly submerged log, surrounded by lots of water. And, I didn't want to get my tripod's feet wet (not to mention my own - <g>). Fred - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
