When you look at my first photo you will see that I was lucky to even see this Turtle. I spotted the Turtle on the edge of the road next to a field that had been plowed at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. I would never have seen it if it hadn’t of moved.


How I Got The Shot: Mississippi Mud Turtle
I sat on the edge of the road and was able to wait for this Turtle to start walking.
I was hand-holding my camera and lens.
