The first on is a Box Turtle but I'm not sure what the others are. Nice shots in any case

Thanks Jack. I listed the species based on Google Lens searches. GL agrees with you on #1. Not being a turtles expert, I am at the mercy of our deep learning models/overlords who are shining the light these days (and doing our English homework).

Very nice work, Ronnie! You surprised #1.
Thank you Mike!
Mr. Box T. was surrounded by photographers clicking away as he was "crossing the road" so to speak. Surprised, maybe, annoyed, more likely!
"Why did the turtle cross the road"? "To get away from the paparazzi"!

Thanks Joe, for your comments. Yeah - the biologist who named that species might have been a hobbyist musician on the side!
