This little guy was on the road, taking a break from his long walk. I stopped and helped finished his journey across the road so he wouldn’t get run over.

If the photo was mine, it would be named “Turtle Soup”.
Nice shot, Brian. I am sure Mr. Turtle is very grateful to you.

This turtle is a Western Painted Turtle.
It is so named for obvious reasons.

Great shot!
Have you got these things running wild in Hamilton?
Thank you Professor Mandrake for the info.
What the hell are a stampeding group of these things called?
A herd? Just thought I’d ask.

No this little guy was on Concession 4 Road in Smithville…about 20 miles outside of Hamilton. It is where I grew up. I showed my daughter the farm I grew up on, then on the way back to the highway found Mr Turtle taking a break.

A stampede of turtles??? Well herd is good. But the technical term is a bale of turtles.

A bale of turtles?
That may be a term that even Mandrake would be unfamiliar with lol!!!
If he sees this you can bet there will be a post with more info on the
subject.
Time to get to work.
