As predicted, the pond is proving a fertile location for wet weather photography. I took these tonight. There were no newts in the pond, but several were out in the surrounding area on a nightly hunt. 
The pond itself is in fact quite lively. A couple of frogs were resting on the surface, surrounded by innumerable damselfly nymphs.
There's a nymph in the right foreground of the previous shot. I only noticed it when I was going through the shots later. This one though was intentional. 😉
No fox photos tonight. The weather didn't really suit either of us! But I have uploaded a small gallery of 'fox portraits'. It's a fairly random selection going back over the past couple of years.
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 40D and EF 100mm f/2.8L macro IS USM lens.

4 Oct 2010Nice to see the newts. And the frog staring at the camera is great :up:
Hope it stops raining soon! I packed all my winter gear for my trip and then found that it was hotter than the UK :ko:

5 Oct 2010Rania, the nymphs live in the water for a year before they emerge. One of the wonders of springtime!
