Description
It's pretty much impossible to count the painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) looking for sunshine on this log near the bank of a pond. These turtles are semi-aquatic, and because they are cold-blooded, they bask for hours on sunny days to warm up. Native to the North America, it can be found in most states. These particular reptiles were enjoying an unseasonably warm mid-February day at the Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge (formerly the Squaw Creek NWR) in northwestern Missouri. The text on the image is a quotation from Eeyone, the always gloomy donkey in A. A. Milne's "Winnie the Pooh".
