My collecting haunts - part 1
This is a picture of Warnham Millpond, around which I collect many of my specimens. The special thing about this picture is that it was taken by my 5 year old daughter Janejira a couple of weekends ago. The pond is part of a local nature reserve and is about 10 mins walk from where I live. I'm very fortunate to have permission to collect specimens for microscopy.

A nature enthusiasts and microscopists dream here Graham and only a ten minute walk away. Lovely indeed, one could spend years studying that pond and its ecosystem both macro and microscopic. Just viewing the photo sets ones mind to pondering the possibilites of haveing such a pond so close and handy for study. I myself have to drive miles away to enjoy such as this but at least I can for now and for that I am thankful. Have you or have you ever thought of doing a detailed study of the pond

Graham, tell your daughter she's a better photographer than I am--One reason I took up macro is that there are no horizons to keep straight, and I never could get that right in regular photography! But she got things level at age 5.
I envy you having a place so close. I live in downtown Oklahoma City (yes, we have a downtown here! ) It is a five minute walk (literally) to my work, but finding a good place for nature photography requires a significant drive! I do occasionally find a few insects or human-planted flowers to photograph, though....

Hi Graham,
This looks great! We can all put our cameras down now that your daughter is on board!
My two favorite microscopy books cover your territory:
The freshwater life of the British Isles by John Clegg
and
Freshwater microscopy by W.J. Garnett
I had both shipped from the UK last year--excellent reads.
