A small painted turtle that my son and I caught, walking down the middle of the road in front of our building. We carried to a wooded area closer to the river, and released it.
awe so cute, and important for people to know the kindest thing you can do is to release animals back into the wild when you have caught them there... it is actually illegal in most areas to keep any wild caught animals for more than 24 hours.

Is it a baby? It looks very cute anyway.

yes, probably newly-hatched. In the previous photograph I am holding the turtle in my hand with a (Canadian) quarter in my palm for size comparison.
