The opposite end of the scale

The opposite end of the scale (Emydura macquarii)

My previous post, a very long neck, well this one is a short-necked turtle!

How Ken spotted it way out in the middle of the lake I don't know!!

Can't remember ever seeing a turtle in the wild before.

The opposite end of
the scale would appear
to be 'A Flat Natural',
judging by the shape
of that turtle, D. A great
shot of Nature's dinner
plate. Well caught.

Good for Ken for spotting it and good for you getting such a neat shot D. Yes, totally opposite of your long necked Darter ;)

Delia if you come to South Carolina you will see a turtle crossing the street sometimes. They are everywhere. Come see us, Delia. Thanks for your picture :).
