Painted Turtle
Although I am not 100 percent positive, I believe this is an Eastern Painted Turtle. I saw it headed across a field probably between a small water stream nearby and a larger body of water in the direction it was headed. While walking near it, I noted that any time I wanted to get a photo from a different angle it was nearly impossible to do that. As I attempted to walk around it, the turtle kept changing direction always keeping me behind it. After walking it around in circles two or three times, I walked away from it, and it headed away in the same direction I originally saw it going. I obviously did not measure it, but I would estimate its shell at about ten inches long and seven inches wide.
