Description
Now that summer has officially arrived I tell my kids to get outside and explore! My son found this cute little turtle and could not believe how fast it could travel across the grass.
It held still long enough for this photo (either from fright or exhaustion - not sure which) as they had been playing with it for a while. My son let it go in our pond about an hour later. :-)
Enjoy the weekend!

It sure has their attention. ;-)
That's a great photo, I love the concentration on their faces. That's a couple of beautiful kids, btw!
Supremely super composition in this magnificent portrait, Jodie! Although not a very ample source of soup from the little guy, being closely scrutinized by your good looking kids. This is a nice sharp picture with excellent lighting effects, which definitely focuses on the turtle.
beautiful and wonderful capture of your kids and that darling little baby painted turtle ( i know how excited my Chrissy was to find one last summer in Mich!) love their expression and look of wonder!! what a great find and fabulous shot luv this Jodie!!!
Fantastic capture of both the kids and the baby turtle!!!
Good study, such a tiny creature
If someone asked me, "what's Jodie-like about this?" I'd say the wonderful simple composition, your two children in shadow (mostly) making a canopy over the critter; both faces caught in absorption with nothing forced, just absorbed; and the sun-bleached boldness of your daughter's hand. Your bold moments get me everytime. And the turtle has the slightest tad of red (underbelly) which I'd like to think you wanted to catch! Unconsciously? Doesn't matter. Your eye is working for you! It's just enough to meld with the lips and shirt, and I love it. (You could've shot it a second later and missed it, but you didn't.) A quiet hovering shot around a big bright discovery, and a delight. (Is that jodie-like enough, I ask?) (Thank you, I'll be here all week...)
Great capture. Such an amazing little creature!
Super capture! Excellent composition and light. Well done
Beautiful shot. The intense look of your two children is precious. What a capture.
