Description
FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens located right off of the Belt Parkway in Brookln, New York, I was in an area that had a bridge over a pond with rocks. While I was taking photos of the various flowers in the Botanical Gardens I turned to go to another section when I noticed this 75 year old turtle climbing out of the water and onto the rocks. I immediately put my zoom lens on and zoomed in on this detailed turtle. The wear and tear on his shell clearly gives his age away but what I enjoyed capturing was the remarkable detailed colors that he had on his neck going around his head and down his neck into his shell at the bottom of his neck. I found out he was 75 years old after coming off of the bridge and seeing a sign that gave information about this wonderful colorful and old turtle.
