Macro Monday

Eye to eye
and nose to nose
with a turtle.
When the photo session was finished this little lady went gladly back to her woodland surroundings.
(click to enlarge photos for a really close look)

What incredible shots! Do you have a zoom lens, or was she really brave enough to let you that close without completely retreating?

You just happened to stumble upon this turtle? How cute is that? Love the close ups! Glad you didn't make turtle soup out of said turtle!
