Love in the mist

As yet un-opened, but looking wonderful in the early evening light.
I spent the day practicing using my walker. Always a bit scary.  I managed half a circuit of my garden before collapsing in a heap.  The remainder of my day was divided into two halves. Under the sun shade by the pond or inside at my desk 
Whilst at the pond, i spent a goodly amount of time simply staring into the water looking for movement. Finally after about an eternity, she came into view. I am of course referring to our returning visitor. A smooth Newt. We did have three. One male & two females. Once the language of love was over, the male left, leaving the females to lay her eggs. Today was that day.
