Not pretty, but it doesn't have to be.

This is one of those times that I don't shoot to make art. In fact, this is rather poor. Unless, of course, you are looking for proof of wildlife sightings, in which case, this is perfectly not-horrible. I wanted to get in front of this female Blanding's Turtle to show off her bright, rich yellow throat. She, however, had other ideas and told me, in her own way, to leave her alone. So I did.
