Title: Bumped into a dinosaur
Country: Canada
Exif: Canon 7D, f10, 1/2000 sec, ISO 300, 300mm

Kayaking to get a photo of a Great Blue Heron and my kayak bumped into this old guy. They can live up to 100 years and weigh up to 75 pounds. This guy was a big one. After my little encounter, he went under to walk along the bottom. I'm glad I wasn't wading barefoot in that area. Oh, and snapping turtles were around when the dinosaurs were here. They don't seem to have changed, judging by their ancient appearance.

Even though the tag gives the animal away, if you'd like to play the guessing game then go ahead and decide what animals eye this is (If it is an animal ;)
Taken here in Wales - Roath Park

Waited 25 minutes to get this shot. I was amazed because there were two other turtles on the same log that he knocked off their premium sunning spots.
He finally rested his head on the top turtle because he wasn't giving up his spot...the gator eventually voiced his displeasure. Got the shot!
