A swimming turtle. The front half of the head is out of the water.
It's time to slow down and admire some pretty things. Today: a snapping turtle head
I know many people won't consider this pretty, but I do. Snapping turtles are fierce (you don't want to get close), multi-color, long-lived creatures with beautiful eyes.

An empty boardwalk over a frozen pond. There is a slight fog that makes the light diffuse.
Yellowish water floating on top of the ice, with plants sticking up.
It’s not quite as foggy, but the mostly empty boardwalk and the odd light makes me feel like I’m in Silent Hill.

A large white and red wetlands flower called a swamp rose mallow surrounded by green leaves
A delicate pink wetlands wildflower called loosestrife
A pale silvery blue dragonfly called a Blue Dasher perched on a fence overlooking the marsh
A solid grey brown Northern Watersnake snoozing in the grass
#HuntleyMeadows is always a photographer's paradise and today was no exception. Snapping turtles, pond turtles, tree frogs, bull frogs, hawks, osprey, geese, song birds, a water snake and numerous bees and butterflies. Only problem is I forgot my camera, so here are some off phone! #VA #bloomscroll

A panoramic view of a wetland. There is a person strolling the boardwalk off to the right. The vegetation is lush and green, the sky is the perfect shade of blue with some scattered clouds off to the left.
Two cobra chickens providing security on the boardwalk at a wetland wildlife preserve. They were thoroughly unimpressed with the humans.
