Turtles are everywhere. Every time I go fishing, even in awful weather, I expect to see turtles. They pop their heads up for air a hundred meters away or just five feet away. They swim under and around me. I usually average about five turtles for every couple hour trip. The novelty is gone.
A couple weeks ago when my family was here my dad got to witness the courting procedure preceding mating. It was a lot of flippers and whitewater, but still really cool for him.
This morning, for my first time, I saw two turtles mating. The water was calm and a head came up for air 20m away, then another head came up a few inches behind the first. They weren't huge turtles (and there are some giants around), but big enough to be making babies.
Tonight I went fishing at the same spot and the same turtles (I assume) were still at it, only closer. I didn't have my camera because I've been fishing alpine style this weekend: only lures and water.
