Sun spot
I'd already done my long walk, the one that doesn't allow for schlepping the Nikon and the Sigma supertelephoto lens, to say nothing of stopping for any length of time, so, later in the afternoon, I returned to Palmer's pond with all the gear to see if I could photograph a flock of Wood Ducks I'd noted earlier. The birds were too far away for decent pictures, but when I scanned the reeds for other critters, I saw yet another sign of vernal life. Atop an old tire I knew from previous scans, the first of the Painted Turtles had emerged from the mud to use this bit of litter as a sunning spot. Painteds are also known as Sun Turtles, so the cast-off was serving as a perfect sun spot for enjoying a bit of thermoregulatory-enhancing warmth.
