Thank you RiekoS!
Very nice!
@SFShep: The UC Berkeley Botanical Gardens has a Japanese pool and there are newts there during the mating season. They are really cool!
I have never seen a salamander or newt. I've looked in every moist place I can think of. I WILL find one.
Thank you Nuwan!
Nice series!
