Turtles
Turtles are a slow-moving but fascinating subject for my photography. I document their diverse shells and their aquatic or terrestrial habitats. I capture their basking behavior and their role in the ecosystem. I observe their interactions with other wildlife and their long lifespans. I aim to show their ancient beauty and their importance in maintaining ecological balance. Their resilience is remarkable.
