Snapping Turtle Spring brings new life. It’s time for turtles to lay eggs. This Common Snapping Turtle came out onto cut grass in the warmth of the sun to lay her eggs. Notice her eyes; completely camouflaged. The Nikon 1 V1 with the 70-300mm (focal length 810mm) lens allowed me to stay far enough away to not disturb her. In August, hopefully, a few baby turtles will appear.
