We stood within a foot of this fellow for quite q while and didn't realize that it wasn't a rock. Good thing he didn't want to take a bite out of one of us.
As a photographer I enjoy your positive comments about my photographs however, what I would really appreciate is your helpful thoughtful critiques. It is only through your eyes I will learn to work better. I wish I could respond to all your wonderful comments but I may not be able to respond to every one due to time consumption....which I would prefer to use looking at your images but I do read them all and enjoy them. Thank you......Dennis
En tant que photographe, je profiter de vos commentaires positifs au sujet cependant mes photographies, ce que je voudrais vraiment l'apprécier est vos critiques réfléchies utiles. Il est seulement à travers vos yeux, je vais apprendre à mieux travailler. Je voudrais pouvoir répondre à tous vos merveilleux commentaires mais je ne peux pas être en mesure de répondre à tout le monde en raison de la consommation de temps .... que je préfère utiliser regardant vos images mais je ne les lire tous et d'en profiter. Merci ...... Den
@tataray: Heureusement pas cette fois .. Il aurait pu prendre ensemble un pied en une seule bouchée.
@Ellebelle: Ha ha.....so we thought.
@Jean Louis: Merci Jean-Louis. La photo ne rend pas justice à sa taille .... ses ongles étaient environ 2 pouces de long
@Adela Fonts: Thanks Adela. I laugh when you say "very well seen" as we stood within a foot of him for about 15 min. before anyone noticed him.. He was very large. His shell could easily have been 18 inches across. Snapping Turtles are not known to be tolerant so we were lucky.
@Devi: Thanks Devi. He was VERY WELL camouflaged...see my comments to Adela.
@Hiro: Yes he must have been very old so he had a few years under his belt to achieve those qualities.
@STEED: You are so right JC... man could do well to learn more from nature.
@Jypyä Pop: Ha ha....only you and his Mother would think so. :>)
@tataray: Salut Raymond. Il est une tortue serpentine. Celui-ci est énorme et pourrait être très dangereux. Nous avons été chanceux qu'il était dans un cadre d'esprit paisible.
@curieuzeneuzemosterdpot: Yes that would have been a huge mistake.
@Philnz: Hi Phil...In actual fact, he had no spots whatsoever.... :>)
@Harry: Very much alive Harry
