The Pond

I call it the pond, not sure it has a official name? its a name the kids called this little body of water when kids just moved to Sugar Bush, a place we went and caught frogs, newts and snakes during the summer. I have heard the spring peepers, toads calling every night for a few weeks, and thought today I would visit the pond to see what there. Sadly it seems lifeless, saw 2 dead newts, some eggs, and other than that nothing. Not sure if the planting of cedar trees around the pond has effected the habitat(reptiles + cedar = death). So I went to get some frog shots but hard being a frog-less place, so decided to try to capture some of the old cedars growing in the area.
