Profile Photograph at the Maymont Nature Center Aquarium

Recently, Dolores and I visited the Maymont Nature and Visitor Center in Richmond, Virginia.  They have wonderful aquarium and wildlife exhibits.

When I was taking this photograph, I was thinking about profile pictures, so I tried to get a good angle.  If your profile picture looks like this, it is time to update the photograph you are using. 

Have a great week and be sure to have your camera in hand to capture the special moments.

I like the idea of you making this your profile picture...just joking. Great shot. This goes along with your re-blog of having your jawline face the front of the picture.

Hi Roy,

If this was a profile picture, they would surely be in need of a good moisturizer or maybe even a good plastic surgeon. Thanks for sharing Roy. Great pictures as always.

The turtle looks as if he is enjoying his day and not the list bit bothered that he is your subject matter. Enjoy your day!

Roy~Great job of taking that photo in an aquarium, not easy to do. When my profile picture starts to look like that, I think it'll be time head for the hills.

Have an AWESOME day!

I didn't read all the other comments, but...At least you were able to get him to come out of his shell and capture his real personality.  ;-)

I always appreciate your comments.  Be sure to visit Maymont when you next travel to Richmond, Virginia.

When I first saw "Profile Shot" in your subject line, I assumed I was going to be seeing a photo of you, Roy!  But we all know what they say about assuming:-)

These are fantastic photos of the snapping turtle! I'd love to have the original high-res versions if you're willing to share them with us for potential use in marketing materials. You could email them to me at cmurray@maymont.org or send me a message if you have any questions. And thanks for your kind words about Maymont too!

It is sometimes good to revisit old blogs and reblogs. We might even find some good ideas for new posts.
