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?
