I dunno why those dots that made its name as tiger lily in the petals are shedding off.
North Curl Curl on a wet and stormy morning.
The large swell crashing into the rock shelf and the dramatic cloudscape made for an interesting morning.

Early spring, 2024: mating season for aquatic newts on my NC property. This male is swimming beneath the female to both display himself and put his nose in the appropriate spot to assess readiness.
A few moments later, the male grabbed the female from behind. They curled into a spinning ball as he wrestled her to the bottom and then deposited his sperm package on a leaf for his partner to uptake through an opening called a cloaca, leading to her sex organ.
Though not a very romantic union, the birthing process is surprisingly tender. The female lays 2 or 3 eggs per day, gently nestling them in floating plant roots for protection. Hatchlings remain there until ready to venture forth.
I'm not gonna lie folks, I feel like I've lost my mojo. I'm having a hard time finding beauty in the mundane, which was always something I enjoyed. In an effort to fix that, I took my 100mm macro out for a spin. Because we all know that nothing challenges a photographer like a completely different perspective.
(I think I've been too in love with my 35mm, and that's why the 100mm macro was such a huge shift.)
