Launching Pad - 05/20/2010 - photo by Shawn Dowd

I was looking for some warm weather art when I stopped at a boat launch on the Erie Canal in Perinton.  Though nobody was there, I did find this baby snapping turtle poking it’s head out of the water.  I decided to try a fun picture showing it coming up for air.  I got down to the turtle’s level and made a couple photos when along comes this lady bug floating on a piece of plant fuzz.  It climbed up the onto the turtle and - liftoff.
