Cowabunga

Went on a lunchtime walk around Lake Union yesterday.  On a sunny day, you can sometimes see into the water quite well - and so I was on the lookout for fish.  Imagine my surprise when I saw this instead:

This is, according to the internet, probably a painted turtle.  And, apparently, they are quite common in the waters here.  I have seen some before basking on a log in Green Lake, just north of Lake Union, but this is the first time seeing them here - on a walk that I've probably done hundreds of times.  Kind of cool.
