This is one of my favorite photos from this year's collection.  Hard to eat your food when it sits on the back of your head!

This is a new friend that showed up this year.  I always enjoy those that will pose for my camera.

This pond visitor clearly did not play well with others.  We later captured him and transported him to a new location.

This is a nice photo of these wonderful brown dragonflies.  They are not as common as our other visitors but always worth a close look.

This frog is my favorite subject.  He loves to spend time out of the water and was always willing to let me stick my camera in his face.

This is my favorite of the pond visitor photos for 2000.  Two of these guys are real, the other is made of concrete.
