Thanks chuff :) I use a Sony H1 digital camera :) Here's a photo taken this week, the spawn is developing into tadpoles now.

Leonnie! Your pictures are really beautiful! I've just bought a digital camera (Kodak Easyshare Z710) and thought mine were 'ok' but I'm tempted to chuck it in the bin now!

I saw on another thread you have a 'macro button' for close-ups. Wonder if mine's got one???  ::) It took me half an hour to work out how to switch it on.

Thanks Trixie :) Have a look at your manual, there might be some mention about macro in it. :)

Leonnie, I agree they are lovely pics.  What's the plant growing in the pond?  Not seen anything like it before.

Brilliant pics, Leonnie! Wish I had a pond! Can we have more photos please, as the tads grow up?

My dad has a little pond and happened to mention to a neighbour the other day that he was 'throwing away frogspawn by the bucketful'  :o - (bless him, he's 92 and probably won't get any better now!). A day or two later a little boy, about 8 yrs old, turned up on his doorstep with a jam jar and 10p and asked if he could buy some - so Dad has a new friend and a good home for his surplus spawn.  :)

thanks everyone :) I'll certainly keep taking photos as they develop further :) The plant I think is oxygenating weed, it's usually a nice lush green colour but at this time of year it looks a bit manky and lacking in colour, it will turn green as the weather warms more. The frogs love it as it give them a nice protective hiding place.
