Señoras gruñonas que cumplen 31 años! 🎂🥳
Galilea sigue disfrutando de buenas siestas, solete a saco, buen papeo y mucha mala leche, que a su edad no me extraña 😂
La "tarta" consiste en un medallón de pechuga de pavo un poco cocida, una rodaja de huevo duro y anchoitas desecadas. Manjares para mi lela :chef_kiss:

Red-eared Slider (Wild Animals by Papo)

In 1992 the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were at the height of their popularity and like many young boys of my generation, I was obsessed! To the point where my vast toy collection wasn’t enough. I wanted a real turtle, and shockingly enough my mother obliged me. He was a red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans), a sub-species of the pond slider native to the mid-western United States, […]

A Turtle’s Journey

I think this might be a Red-Eared Slider (Trachemys scripta elegans), I'm not absolutely sure certain though. It is my first guess. I asked Copilot to identify the species and Copilot also said perhaps a red-eared slider.

As I've mentioned, I have a gallery of my favorite photos at:

swede1952-photographs.pixels.c

Go there and take a look. Prints are for sale along with other doodads and I suppose it is kind of a business for me. But it's the kind of business where I don't care whether I sale anything or not. If you want something, by all means you are welcome to make a purchase. But I just want you to visit and maybe mark your favorites or leave a comment. Cheers 😄

"The image shows a turtle swimming in clear water. The turtle’s shell is visible, and it has a smooth, rounded shape with a pattern of lines and spots. The water around the turtle is illuminated by sunlight, creating a golden hue and shimmering ripples. The turtle appears to be moving gracefully, with its legs extended and its head slightly raised. The overall scene is serene and peaceful, capturing a moment of natural beauty in the aquatic environment." - Copilot

While walking on the blue trail in Institute Wood, Bhavna spotted the Red-eared Slider sunning on a dead tree branch. She was so excited to see three turtles in a row. The Red-eared Slider was identified on iNaturalist with the help of amateur naturalist John Keisers and The Wandering Piney.

The Red-eared Slider (Trachemys scripta ssp. elegans) is a freshwater turtle species native to the southern United States and northern Mexico. It is known for its distinctive red patch behind each eye, which gives it its name. These turtles have a smooth, olive to brownish-green carapace with yellow stripes or markings. Their plastron (underside) is typically yellow with dark spots.

Red-eared Sliders are omnivorous, consuming a variety of aquatic plants, algae, small fish, insects, and crustaceans. They are excellent swimmers and spend much of their time basking on logs or rocks near water bodies. As ectothermic reptiles, they rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature.

These turtles are commonly kept as pets but can become invasive species when released into non-native habitats. In the wild, they inhabit slow-moving rivers, ponds, lakes, and marshes, where they play a role in the ecosystem as both predators and prey.

How and why temperatures determine the sex of turtles? phys.org/news/2023-06-temperat

Higher temperatures directly increase germ cell number, promoting feminization of #RedEaredSlider turtles cell.com/current-biology/fullt

"Warmer temperatures make more #turtle eggs become female hatchlings... those females also have a higher capacity for egg production, even before their sex is set. This may explain why many #animals besides #turtles have temperature-dependent #SexDetermination"

A freshwater turtle called a red-eared slider.

Is it #WaterfallWednesday or a late #TurtleTuesday?

All four girls with the magnificent Downey Falls behind them.
Might not be very impressive, but the ladies love being right under the waterfall filter flow.
(I was planning on finally making them a proper pond this winter, but all the CA rain has thwarted my plans)

#Turtle #RedEaredSlider

Four red-eared slider turtles basking in the sun in their turtle tub (150 gallon stock tank).   There is one turtle crossways in the foreground (facing right) another one facing the camera to the left. On is completely hidden behind the first one (you just see her head) and the fourth is on top of the hidden turtle facing the camera.  there is green foliage in the background (tomato plants) and a small waterfall flowing in the background (waterfall filter).  there is a net visible overhead and the sides of the black tub.

Happy #TurtleTuesday

Three of our girls working on their suntan...
We somehow ended up with 4 red eared sliders; Laverne & Shirley are ~18 yrs old and Batgirl & Robin are probably ~11.
As the primary "Bringer of Food", they seem to adore me and hide from everybody else.

Photograph of three water turtles baking on a "rock".
Two turtles are facing the camera and the third is on top of the other two facing left. There is green foliage in the background. The "rock" is a large paving stone that looks like sandstone (tan colored).

The dog is sleeping on our bed because his bed was taken.

A dog bed is next to a dresser. There is a large red eared slider turtle on the dog bed. The turtle's feet and head are tucked in.

Red-eared sliders or red-eared terrapins (Trachemys scripta elegans) at the Pool in Central Park. Also, just a bit of duckweed.

Here's another take on one of these beautiful little turtles. I just love the red on their faces; they're so charismatic!

#watercolor #traditionalart #mastoart #redearedslider #turtle

A watercolour painting of a red-eared slider turtle basking on a rock. The turtle is painted in a rainbow palette, with a yellow-to-teal head; blue, teal, green, and yellow shell; and yellow, green, blue, and purple legs and tail. The red parts of the turtle are painted in purple and pink, and a pink starburst pattern is painted in broken circles radiating from the turtle's head. The rock the turtle is basking on is painted in greyscale.

I've had this guy on the back burner for like a month? Two months? It's been too long. I just really wanted to paint a turtle.

I have two versions of this: one with line art and one without. I can't decide which one I like better. The whole painting process ended up being quite an adventure, and I'm considering repainting it.
