Underwater River Scenery Pictures, Page 2

This flash photo freezes the turbulent underside of a shallow riffle in a clear trout stream.

Here's one of my first test underwater pictures with the Pentax Optio WPi. It's a very shallow riffle in a clear trout stream.

Mating toads, with a huge number of eggs stretching out behind them.

These are red-spotted newts, Notophthalmus viridescens viridescens. Thanks Gonzo for the ID.
