Photo Details

  • Title: The Temperament Of The Touched Turtle
  • State/Province/Region: Montana
  • Country: United States
  • Nearest Area: NW MT
  • Description: One summer day I was fishing on this stream and I seen a small round object caught up in a small undercurrent of the stream and to my surprise it was a small turtle, a racer. I normally don’t pick up turtles and photograph them but this situation was unique. I have been fishing this stream in Montana for over 40 years and never had I seen a turtle in this stream. As you can see in this picture the turtle seems annoyed that I have picked him up and taken him from the stream, after I photographed this small turtle I safely returned him to the stream. I very much like the expression on the turtle’s face, the clarity of the picture and the way the stream is shown in the background of the picture.
  • Best Season: Summer
