“Can’t A Guy Get Any Peace And Quiet Around Here?!”
This turtle’s morning started out nice enough yesterday, even the alligators left him alone so he could enjoy a nap on a small bog in the swamp. The poor turtle’s calm peaceful morning would not last long however…
First a moorhen went swimming by which didn’t create too much of a fuss since he was at least fairly quiet about it. But once a green heron showed up and started walking back and forth squawking and carrying on, the calm of the morning was officially over for the turtle!

Another in a long line of great posts!
Hey thanks very much glad you liked it!
LOL…poor guy.
Ha ha I know, he looks kind of disgusted over the whole thing.
Awww, I feel bad for Mr. Turlte. He looked like he just wanted to relax there, and looks none too happy in that last shot with the noisy squawker!
I feel bad for him too, all he wanted was a quiet morning and instead has to put up with traffic.
Luckily however, Mr. Gator left him alone.
Always nice to invite friends! Maybe he is just an old grump.
I suspect this is a rather old turtle and sometimes all the turtles will get together in one area, but not this guy.
Ha ha ha!! Phil,you really are good at very short stories!! I love this one!
Well I’m glad you had fun with this one. 🙂 Poor Mr. Turtle.
Great little series of images. Poor guy, being notched on like that. Very funny.
I’m very happy you enjoyd these Otto, thanks. Despite the rude intrusions I’m betting our turtle friend will retun to that same spot, it does look comfortable.
Don’t want to interrupt your peace but I liked it very much!
I can sure relate to problems with noisy neighbors. 😦
Nice shots Phil.
You move into a good quality area and even then you get noisy neighbours!
Looks like a peaceful encounter 🙂
So colorful they are, beautiful shots 🙂
Wow, those are great shots!!!!
Mr Turtle doesn’t look terrible impressed. The Moorhen seems peaceful enough, but that Green Heron looks like real spoiler. Great shots, Phil. 🙂
Splendid serie! Great photowork!
Good to see different creatures in the same shot. Never underestimate the value of peaceful alone time!
