Nice pics! What kind of fish is that on the bottom in the first pic?

No idea. Saw loads of sunfish and a few cats, but I didn't get a good look at that one -- was paying more attention to the turtle!

I like turtles...those are really nice shots, love #2. Every time I try turtles, they disappear.
Regards!

Looks like they were celebrating that Irene had left. Fun shots to view. Bob

Unlike squirrels! I was surprised they let me get this close, although most of them would still duck under after a shutter click. #2 is a 100% crop, so I wasn't actually that close.

Thanks Bob! Was hoping for birds yesterday; spent some time creeping around trying to get a look at a pair of pileated woodpeckers I could hear but not see except for an occasional glimpse. Fortunately the turtles were more cooperative.

Amazing shots! I love these!! How lucky to see so many in one place in just the right circumstances of light and water. wow!

Thanks tessfully -- 'twas indeed lucky. Of course, part of good luck of this kind is having the camera at the ready.
