Skaters at the pond

When i have little time to go out and photograph as happens too often when being a parent to a one year old i tend to stay close to home and photograph at the nature reserve behind my home wich has some really nice hidden treasures each season.


One of the animals i always like to watch on the streams in the reserve are the Pond Skaters-Gerris lacustris as the way they walk on the water appeals to everyone's imagination i guess.


Today i decided to dedicate some spare time to these tiny wonders of nature and here are some of the results..
