Description
My husband and I came across this diamondback terrapin crossing the road in Horntown, Virginia near Wallops Island. We stopped to help it across the road and in return he/she let me take their portrait before ambling off towards the Chincoteague Bay.

Amazing reptile and look at those eyes!

Thanks Roberta, I found him at the campground near Assateague Island that we stay at last summer. He didn't seem to mind being photographed either :)

I have never seen one of these turtles. Excellent photo!
Lara Ellis replied:
Thanks Jane, we hadn't either. I had to look it up to figure out what it was. :)
