I saw this Groundhog,
Marmota monax, on the front lawn of a house in town.

As soon as this turtle saw me, it ducked back under the water before I could get a better photo. It was in a small, shallow pond, but the water was very murky.

Though it may look like this snake was right under my feet, I was a safe distance away.
The mighty power of a zoom lens!
Have a great week-end!
