We finally received some rain the other day. It created a few pools where the vernal pools are located about 3 miles from my house. As I was walking the dog, I noticed the mating dances taking place and decided to lay down in the shallow water for about 40 minutes and capture some images I often find very difficult to capture. Hope you enjoy these. They turned out pretty good for the most part. Very shallow DOF though. I think they are Variegated Meadowhawks, but I will let Doc verify the species. The bobbing up and down as they touch the water's surface made for a challenging shoot. I thought I would throw in a shot of my assistant who thought the pools were great fun as well. Enjoy.
