Taken while canoeing in Juniper Springs Wilderness Preserve, North Central Florida. I believe this to be an “American Coot”. They can be seen in copious numbers sunning themselves on fallen trees or outcropping of rocks when the weather is right. I love to watch them scrambling over each other for the best spot in the sun. / / *Note of interest: Last shot of the day, because upon taking this, my canoe went sideways up against this very tree that the little turtle is sitting on, scaring him to death and tipping me into the water! My camera was saved by a miracle…I don’t know how I managed to keep it above water! Also from Juniper Springs Wilderness Preserve*

I have always felt connected to Turtle, and the Sea Turtle has always touched my being in a special way. Lately I have felt inspired do so some art to honor them. This design incorporates the Medicine Wheel which celebrates the Sacredness of All Life and the Celestial energies of the Sun & Stars. The spiral in the center, for me, always represents Divine Energy. Turtle Stories from CasaTortuga Turtles are a popular symbol in mythology because of their longevity and appearance. With their protective shells and charming demeanor, they are often found to be symbols of tranquility. Many cultures depict the turtle as carrying the world on its back or supporting the heavens. Hawaiian / Kauila was the legendary turtle who would turn into a girl to watch over the children playing on the beach. The hole dug by her mother for her nest became a freshwater spring used by the people of Punalu’u Bay. She is celebrated at Punalu’u Beach State Park with a plaque. Hindu / Vishnu’s second avatar was Kurma the Turtle. Kurma the Turtle came to help the Devas obtain the nectar of immortality. To churn the sea into nectar, a giant snake was used as a rope and Mount Mandara was used as a rod. When the mountain began to sink, they called upon Vishnu to help them. He incarnated as a turtle and supported the mountain on his back, so that the nectar of immortality could manifest. Mayan / In the Mayan Creation Myth, the Maize God Twins were transported in a giant canoe (The Milky Way) to Orion’s belt, which they saw as a giant cosmic turtle. The god Chak cracked open the back of the turtle with a lightning stone. The Maize Gods grew from the crack in the back of the turtle and it stretched out two serpents that formed a path for the sun and represented the umbilicus through which the Maya communicate with their sky gods. Native Americans / In some Native American traditions, the World Turtle carries the earth upon its back. The great spirit of the Cheyenne, Maheo, kneads mud from a coot’s beak until the grandmother turtle can support the earth on her back. The Mohawk believe that the trembling of the earth is caused by the old grandmother turtle stretching beneath the great weight of the earth she carries upon her back. Mesopotamian / In ancient history, the Mesopotamian people believed that the turtle was associated with one of their Gods called Ea. The turtle was used on “kudurrus” (a type of stone document) as a symbol of Ea, a deity in Summerian mythology African / In the African mythology of the Yoruba tribe, a semi-independent, large ethnic nation in Africa located in Southeastern Nigeria; Iapa the tortoise is a trickster in a series of tales they tell of exploits. Traditional Yoruba religion is centered around several deities called “orisha.” As adults, the Yoruba often honor several of these deities. China / The Gong Gong, a Chinese water god was responsible for the great flood. In Chinese mythology, Gong Gong was ashamed that he lost the fight to claim the throne of heaven and smashed his head against Mount Buzhou, a pillar holding up the sky. To fix the situation, the goddess Nu Gua cuts off the legs of a sea turtle to take the place of the mountains in propping up the sky. In this sense, the turtle’s shell with the flat underside and the rounded top represents the idea of the flat earth and domed sky. Chinese mythology / In the African mythology of the Yoruba tribe, a semi-independent, large ethnic nation in Africa located in Southeastern Nigeria; Iapa the tortoise is a trickster in a series of tales they tell of exploits. Traditional Yoruba religion is centered around several deities called “orisha.” As adults, the Yoruba often honor several of these deities. Taiwan / In villages, turtle shapes are made with paste cakes for festivals held in honor of the lineage’s patron deity. In order to assure prosperity, harmony, and security for the next year, people buy these cakes and take them to their family.

I had a pet minature turtle when I was a kid, but after leaving him in the care of my Nana for a few months the little guy grew into a very large turtle.. I think she replaced by beloved turtle with the wrong species! I still loved him anyway :-) / This Tshirt design is taken from a lino cut.

Put your faith in a tank of air for a while and you will find yourself introduced to the most beautiful creatures on this earth. Whales, Sharks, Tropical creatures; each animal being equally curious about these creatures that seem to have strayed into their territory, bubbles streaming from the mouth. Humans were not designed to travel beneath the oceans but perhaps there is a turtle somewhere looking to embrace you with it’s incredible beauty as it moves slowly beneath the surface. / Photographed in The Great Barrier Reef near Port Douglas / Photographed using a Canon G10 in a Canon Underwater Housing with an Ikelite Strobe Featured in “Far North Queensland” group

A loggerhead turtle making its journey to the sea. view large please. As I sat on Venice beach , Florida photographing the birds, a marine biologist from Mote marine laboratory was checking the turtle nest, she found one alive. She came over to me to show me the little guy, and I took some images of him as he made his way to the Gulf of Mexico. The waves were rough that day, so we stood watch to ensure the little one made off shore, he did after the second try.She said once he is in the water he will swim for 3 days,they use ocean currents to travel to the Sargasso Sea using the Sargassum as protection until they mature. This was my first time seeing a baby loggerhead in the wild. loggerhead turtles are on the threatened list. / Canon 5D mark ll / canon 400mm / ISO 640 / 1/1600 f/ 5.6 CP filter /
