Is that turtle climbing up the side of that rock, wow!

Sunbathing on a log, but they are surprisingly good climbers.

heh, we're gonna pull you in screaming and kicking, @Jhn !! into the world of photographing your pond I 'fixed' the orientation of both pics and used some PS magic to reduce the glare on the DBT, with respect to your efforts, jhn; hope you don't mind!

One great tip; if you wear sunglasses, hold them in front of your cam lens and THEN take pics when there's glare on the water; it will reduce it tremendously and your subject will pop out of the pic better! I sorta did this with the DBT pic, but best if done at the time of pic taking. Still, really nice to see the DBTs again! Still going to consider getting one some day as they're like a version of salt water fish to tropicals when it comes to turtles!

Got it, have to add that glasses over phone camera then remember to bring the phone with me. That’s asking a lot, just saying.

Or did he, that might just be the right orientation, and my turtle channels it’s inner Spider-Man

@Jhn ; you sure YOU didn't turn the pic accidentally 90 deg CW and in reality, the turtle is hanging on the UNDERSIDE of that log??? Talk about inner Spiderman, hey??
