New England Vernal Pool Life Photo Gallery by Sam Jaffe at pbase.com

New England Vernal Pool Life

This Gallery is growing fast as the spring warms the waters of some local vernal pools. Through this gallery I hope to increase my own understanding of these organisms and to display their unique and often overlooked beauty.

Isn't it amazing that we share our world with such beautiful creatures? I think they are ALL gorgeous but the wide smile of the salamander is something :)

Hi! I met Linda at Antioch and she showed me your website. You have some really neat stuff. I love the Spotted Salamanders in particular. Keep it up!

Strange, yes. Beautiful, not so sure. I assume these are all underwater, but how big are these guys? That Caddisfly makes a fine patchwork quilt, but how does he do it?

Great shots, Sam! You have managed to capture every detail.

Sam, you never stop showing me strange new worlds. Seeing them through your eyes makes them that much more beautiful.
