“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!

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.

  I suspect this is a rather old turtle and sometimes all the turtles will get together in one area, but not this guy.

  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.

Mr Turtle doesn’t look terrible impressed. The Moorhen seems peaceful enough, but that Green Heron looks like real spoiler. Great shots, Phil. 🙂
