Pond Life

Well the pond in the garden is absolutely brimming with tadpoles and baby frogs now, that I have to be careful when removing the pondweed, that I don't remove them as well.

Still the weed is giving good cover to the tiny frogs and the goldfish below.

I took the photo on on OMD, using a 20mm lens. Not the right lens I know for macro work, Ideally I should use the lens that has been especially designed for close up photography; the Olympus 60mm 1.1. It would be nice to have one, but I don'y think my funds can stretch to one at the moment.

New Life

Well, the pond in the garden is absolutely brimming with tadpoles now. And they are all getting quite big, as you can see in my photo.

It will be interesting to see how many make it into frogs over the coming weeks. We have quite a big pond and one end is sloped, so hopefully they will be able to work out how to get out into the world and dry land.

Its surprising how their parents find their way to our garden, and where they came from. Our new neighbour said that he had loads in his garden, as they were looking for the pond that used to be there, so hopefully they came across ours to mate in.
