Snaped these shots earlier after doing a water change(first one in about 2 months, love my new filter, I think she does too!). This is the healthy one of the pair of Orientalis I rescued from the pet shop earlier this year.
This is the first time I've ever seen her out of the water. I used to put her down on the land after removing her for a water change and she'd just dive straight back in. I put her back in the water today and she walked straight out!
About 2 seconds after taking the third photo she lost her footing and fell straight in with a big plop then stuck her head through the duck weed with a very perplexed expression, it was hilarious. I tried to get a photo but the plant was in the way and she swam off.
I've only just changed the dead sphagnum from the land area and replaced it with live moss, I think she must like the decor!
EDIT: Not sure why the images arent showing, think I got the right code. If a mod could fix it for me I would appreciate it.
