Picture of the day

The African helmeted turtle (Pelomedusa subrufa) is a species of side-necked terrapin in the family Pelomedusidae. The species naturally occurs in fresh and stagnant water bodies throughout much of sub-Saharan Africa, and in southern Yemen. It is omnivorous, with its diet consisting mainly of aquatic invertebrates, small fish, and vegetation. It is typically a small turtle, with most individuals being less than 20 centimetres (7.9 inches) in straight carapace length. The female lays two to ten eggs on average, normally during late spring and early summer. The eggs are placed in a flask-shaped nest about 4 to 7 inches (10 to 18 centimetres) deep and hatch in 75 to 90 days. This African helmeted turtle was photographed in Phinda Private Game Reserve, South Africa.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp

Someday soon I'll make this into a really spiffy userpage. Until then:

I'm Ken Warren, a middle aged Wikipedian. In real life I'm a solution architect with a consulting firm that specializes in BI/BPM solutions. I'm also a photographer.

My interests range from reading science fiction and fantasy, to collecting "coffee table" books of art and photography, amateur astronomy, woodworking, to auto racing. So a little of a lot of things, like a lot of people here. My current major interests on Wikipedia are improving the information on mid-century pin-up artists and the science fiction sections.
