Newt Swimming Above Leaves - a photo on Flickriver

            This male newt is enjoying a relaxed swim during a warm spring afternoon on my North Carolina property.  He’s seeking neither food nor a mate, but rather engaging in a few moments of peaceful recreation. 

The red and orange colors come from fallen leaves that are now part of the substrate. The blue is reflections of sky piercing the canopy.
