"Mean Muggin'" by Trevor, 16 | Lakes In a New Light

We saw this Blanding's Turtle near the edge of a marsh, and it just sat there staring at us. I felt like I was bothering it, so I took a few pictures and let it go do its thing.

About Trevor: "My name is Trevor, and I'm from Madison. I'm at Passage because of the mistakes I've made in the past. Being here has really made me realize that I need to take time and think before I just do things I'm going to regret. What I love about Lake in a New Light is that you can get outside and realize what you're missing. You learn how to take these amazing photos you thought you could never take, and you learn about all the amazing things about nature that you've been missing out on. Taking photos makes me feel like there is a new me and I can change because of the beauty in some of my photos."
