Hero in a half shell

My pet turtle Sidney is one of my favorite and yet most difficult subjects. While turtles aren't exactly known for their speed, this little guy can move faster than you'd expect, and certainly fast enough to be just out of focus in most of the pictures I take of him. He'll sit still just long enough for me to set the focus but not long enough to actually get the picture before he starts charging at me. He's still amazing and handsome though, and hopefully I'll have some better pictures with more practice. Or if I catch him sleeping.
