My camera took the plunge! I have owned my new camera for five months, and have just plucked up the courage to test its underwater capabilities.

I like the natural debris and detritus that floats or sinks, often not noticed or appreciated. I am bringing this to peoples attention, putting emphasis on the little things.

Here is where the ‘plunge’ happened. The intensity of the natural sunlight filtering through the water makes this photo look alive, giving justice to the subject. We reveal a scene on the pond bed that you would not usually notice.

I am pleased to introduce one of the ponds resident newts who made a special appearance. Watch this blog, hopefully for more appearances!
