Painted Turtles



Kikomun Creek Provincial Park in south-east BC is one of the few areas where Painted Turtles live in Canada.







These are 10-12" long and doing what they are supposed to do - basking in the sun - not hiding from the camera!!












They get their name from the yellow and red colouring.



It was our last night in BC and we had to get rid of our stash of fire wood before crossing into Montana.
