Snapping Turtle Everyday provides a new surprise; some are just bigger than others. Today, a snapping turtle decided to lay her eggs in the cut grass in our way backyard just short of the underbrush and trees. She was busy in the same spot for several hours. In order to not disturb her, I used my 810mm equivalent lens to capture this image. She chose a sunny spot with some afternoon shade to keep her eggs warm and the lake, really a slew, lays about 50 years away through the underbrush which provides cover from predators when the young turtles hatch. Wish I could see the young turtles when he first see light of day.
