Happy Wednesday to you all.
Hi, Shelley!
Very nice shot although it looks as though the subject has had it with paparazzi.
Thanks, John. She was not amused. 🙂
Shelley needs a sip of nectar or a bite of a bug to get her groove back! 😉 A perfect wordless Wednesday since I had a few posters on my high school walls, this, the Desiderata and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were the memorable ones. I always felt we need to speak our minds! 🙂
Such cool colours. And a fun photo. 🙂
Thanks, Otto. 🙂
A determined and photogenic lady, Sylvia! And also sensible, since she brought lunch with her. 😉
Hahaha Yes, she was awesome. 🙂
Sounds like an amazing adventure. A great journey with beautiful photos.

Thanks again. I’m sorry for the delay in replying. I just found your comment in my spam filter. 😦
The great show turtle. Gorgeous photo Sylvia!
Thank you. So happy you enjoyed. 🙂
Terrific close up of the turtle, he looks quite colourful. Great quote too!
Thanks, Gerrie. 🙂
Loved the very appropriate quote!
Me too. 😀
Nice shot……
Thanks so much. 🙂
Nice portrait 🙂
Haha….I think she’d be proud. 🙂
Shelley does not look amused with the paparazzi!
She has a very unamused look for sure. 🙂
That is a cool shot! He looks he wants to get a closer look at you.
Thanks, YC. Yes, I’m not as fascinating to look at, though. 😃
wow a real close up. I am always amazed by those legs of theirs.. Great shot Sylvia
Thanks, Lisa. They are really interesting, aren’t they? 😃
Yes, very. 🙂
For a moment I wondered why she was called Shelley – that’s how dopey I am!
Hehehe Love you, Gilly. ❤
Gorgeous photo
Thanks so much, Marylou. 🙂
Wonderful!
Thanks, Sue. 🙂

What a fabulously composed shot Sylvia! Shelly is a beauty! 🙂
Thanks, Madhu. I was really happy that she climbed out of the water for her photo. 🙂
hello Shelly! nice color… happy Wednesday to you, too, Sylvia! 🙂
JBC’s quote made me smile 🙂 thank you!
Thanks, dear Lola. Yes, the quote made me smile too. I think it’s true. 🙂

What an expression! Happy Wednesdsy to you.
Hehehe Thanks, Ruth. 🙂
Fabulous photo. Good post. Happy Wednesday
Thanks so much. 🙂
Happy Wednesday Sylvia! Love Shelley – great shot. Just fished one out of our pool the other day and happily carried her to the pond across the street.
Thanks, Mary. No, I wouldn’t want to go swimming with one either. Glad you rescued her/him. 🙂
My husband caught him with the net and I had to carry him across the street.
Was he quite a small one? I would have carried him over in the net. 😀
He was medium and big enough to have had a healthy spray if I wasn’t too careful. I’ve carried bigger ones, but this one was a feisty guy – was difficult to catch, kept flying back n’ forth across the pool. Very funny to watch ~
I bet you were just as much fun to watch, trying to snag him. 🙂
Great shot with great color.
Thanks, Dan. 🙂
Don’t suppose she’s saying ‘ Never before the first cup of tea ‘ 😆
Yes, most probably. 😀
lol 🙂
Quite the look on her too! 😄
LOL! Shelley looks as though she got up on the wrong side of the bed, Sylvia. 🙂
Hehehe She looks somewhat dishevelled. 🙂
Great shot!!!
Thanks, 🙂
