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.

Correct IDs Dave. Male in front of the tandem with female always behind. These are truly amazing shots. Fine work as you always produce. Iā€™m shooting now down in Texas since the season is pretty much over in PA. Looking to get a good shot of a female Variegated.
