Taking a Break

Snapping Turtle Taking a Break I was fishing the Flat River in Lowell MI and was coming to the end of my day. It was hot and humid and I had been wading for over three hours when I came upon this snapping turtle who looked as exhausted as I feeling. The turtle remained on the rock for another 5 minutes after taking photo while I continued to fish.
