Turtle Time in the Sun

I love turtles and at this time of year they are easy to find, especially if you are near a pond on a sunny day. It is hard to tell from this picture but this is a very small, about 2" big, painted turtle sitting on a clump of mud in a shallow pond.These painted turtles were all lined up at the edge of another pond....
And this one is poised to dive in if I make a step closer (which I didn't)
And this turtle has a new friend....
