Golf Road—Pewaukee. Wisconsin
These 2 shots were taken within one minute of each other, of a large Common Snapping Turtle, who was about to cross a highway.  After I took these shots, I carefully picked it up and moved it to the other side of the road, close to a pond

Kennedy Space Center, Florida
A number of American Alligators were in the road side waters near the Kennedy Space Center.  I was a chaperon for a high school trip and asked the bus driver to pull over so I could shoot this one (with my camera)

Wasp on Goldenrod—Heyer Park, Waukesha, Wisconsin
Heyer park was established in the early 70's, when I was a kid, living near by.  It's still fun to go back there, to walk around the lagoons (man made ponds), and to recall fond memories

Fox River Sanctuary Trail Boardwalk—Waukesha, Wisconsin
There are a few ponds off the boardwalk (which was damaged by floods this year).  I found a muskrat (not pictured) and these two: turtles?  The one in back is definitely a turtle head, and the best sources I have indicate the close one is the head of a snapping turtle
