I love the way these turtles were lined up on an upward-slanting log as they basked in the autumn sunlight last Tuesday at Jackson Miles Abbott Wetland Refuge. One smaller turtle looked like it was trying to merge into the traffic on the log, but the other turtles, like drivers in the Washington D.C. area where I live, were not letting him in.
The reflections in the water were a nice bonus and few floating leaves add little pops of autumn color.

I laughed at your traffic reference. As in D.C., so in Houston — or about anywhere, these days.
I think it is a big city kind of thing–lots of impatient people who think they are more important than you are. 🙂
Great photo. I have liked turtles 🐢.
While visiting Como Lake in Italy, I encountered a similar spectacle of turtles leisurely making their way along a branch. Great photo!
