Originating around the gulf of Mexico, the Red-eared Slider turtles are an introduced species in British Columba. Popular as pets, many have been released or have escaped into the wild in many parts of the world.

The red on the side of the head, the "ear" patch, distinguishes them from other similarly sized turtles such as the Western Painted Turtle and the Western Pond Turtle. They also have yellow stripes on the face and neck.

They enjoy sunbathing and can be seen resting on logs in many lakes and ponds. The name "slider" comes from their ability to slide into the water with ease.

Sharon is a Nature and Wildllife Photographer living on the West Coast of British Columbia, Canada. In our busy lives, it`s often hard to take the time to stop and 'smell the roses' and really see what nature has to offer, but whether on a forest trail or around the corner from her home, Sharon attempts to capture the stunning diversity that nature has to offer. Her photographic interests range from macros of insects to scenic landscapes and everything in-between, and finds there`s never enough time to really explore all that`s out there. Serious about photography since 2009, and now wanting to offer something more, Sharon has started creating digital paintings with computer software based on her photos. Please enjoy browsing her...
