Turtle gives a smile as spring ends its long winter slumber

Turtle gives a smile as spring ends its long winter slumber
A turtle raises its head and seems to smile while sitting on a log. (Tony’s Takes)

As my photo drive was coming to an end Saturday, I stopped by one of our local parks hoping to find these guys. Indeed, I saw at least six different turtles. Most were enjoying the mild day by sunning on the logs in a pond while a few opted to just swim around, occasionally popping their heads up. I’m not sure what kind of turtle this is. Typically this pond sees red-eared sliders and painted turtles. It was definitely not a red-eared slider so I assume the latter although it wasn’t very colorful at all.
