Canada, September 2009
A week visiting friends in Ontario, Canada
Things we did in Canada
A compilation of the video clips I took whilst not photographing or actually being there in the moment...

Common snapping turtle
As we were driving into Algonquin Provincial Park, we came to what looked like a piece of exploded tyre on the road. It was a big piece of tyre so we slowed right down, and then saw that it was actually a big turtle.
The turtle was basking on the warm tarmac right in the middle of the road. We stopped the car to take a closer look. A couple of other cars stopped too and there were suddenly quite a few people standing right up close to it taking photos.
Clearly feeling uncomfortable about this, it started heading back to the undergrowth by the roadside, and in its haste to get away, walked right over the side of the steep roadside bank. It rolled down the slope and came to rest on its back for a moment, before righting itself and continuing on its way.
