Down By The River

River PoolLast night I took the Ebony down to the river to photograph some of the rocks. I haven't developed anything yet so I'm not sure how it will come out.

The riverside was peaceful and pleasant after the hot sun of the day. I didn't see a soul. As I started to leave I noticed a small colony of newts on one of the ponds. It was too dark to photograph them and I didn't have the right gear with me anyway. I promised myself I would return in the morning. Which is exactly what I did.

Palmate Newt 2In the morning light I was able to get a couple of decent shots of the newts on the D200. And I also identified them as Palmate Newts. Beautiful little creatures about 7cm long.
