Looks like a Red-Eared Slider to me as well- nice clarity on #1!

I was confused between the painter and the slider but it looks like the concensus is the Slider...thanks for all the help.

I don't have a clue what it is, but it is very pretty and your shots are so sharp and colorful. I like the really close view. Therese and I saw a turtle out digging a hole presumably to bury eggs, but she was just getting started and was slow as...well, as a turtle. So, we didn't hang around to see the grand finale.
