Old and Wise on the Weeki Wachee

Description:

This old Cooter has seen better days, what with a bad eye, some kind of growth, and a few miles under it's shell, but it's still got some spunk left.We managed to slip right up to it in a canoe and get some close ups without disturbing it a bit. Not 30 seconds after we drifted on downstream, an idiot came by and tried to "pet" it with an oar, and it disappeared into the river like a rocket. Shame it didn't bite her though.Weeki Wachee RiverHernando County FloridaOlympus OM-D E-M5 Mark IIOLYMPUS M.14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R
