McQ. I bet there was a YES! moment when you first reviewed that pitcher shot? A real winner.

Homer:"No! Faith is what you have in things that don't exist. Your awesomeness is real."

Had a super day at Lotherton Hall near Leeds.

It has an open aviary which one can walk through, flower gardens and a tiny little pond (8' x 20') with more wildlife in one place than I have ever seen before!

What cha' doin'!











A pair of damsel flies, the male is the top one.



A teeny tiny toadlet about 6mm long.



A pond skater having lunch.



A perfectly sober newt! The first time I have ever seen, let alone been able to photograph, one.



A full grown toad with toadlets!



A different toad, slightly smaller that the previous one. Look closely and you can see a fly lava above its eye and tiny insects on its back.

Well for a creature that size water is very much more viscous than it would be to you or I. I recall a programme that made the comparison of swimming through treacle. I though about cutting down that picture to focus on the toadlet, but if I had I don't think one would have lost the scale showing how small it is.

Great montage of the eclipse, Maria. I'm too lazy to put mine together like that!  :)

So, the twister isn't your shot? It's a good one regardless.
