I was walking recently with my wife at Rockwood Nature Park and off in the distance I saw this beautiful turtle on the path. I made sure to keep my distance so as not to disturb it and I zoomed in with the full length of my 50 X optical Carl Zeiss lens and as you can see it still had me very much in it's own sight. It was just enough to get a pose. What you can't see here, is that it was perfectly motionless, in that it even stopped breathing, in an attempt to blend in with it's camouflage.
