This beautiful monster, (or is it monstrous beauty?), was eyeing me as I took her photo. I was at Frank Melville Park in Setauket when I spied her below me as I was checking out the numerous Red-eared Sliders that were basking upon logs. I often see all too many Sliders, so finding this behemoth was a real treat.  JK
