Vernal Pool Download
I saw this on a Facebook group, and I hope pasting here still.allows access.
There is a free download of a beautifully done, quality handbook about life in vernal pools: "Announcing the release of Vernal Pools - Documenting Life in Temporary Ponds. It is available today as a free download from the North American Nature Photography Association: Free Handbooks – NANPA® This e-book, part of the NANPA Handbook series, contains 70 pages of photography and natural history. It features images and observations from nearly a decade of vernal pool work by Steven David Johnson Photography, several fascinating photographic salamander behavior studies by Dave Huth, and essays on geology and conservation by vernal pools expert, Michael S. Hayslett. Text and photography: Steven David Johnson Additional images: David Huth Forward and additional text: Michael S. Hayslett Acknowledgments: Thank you to NANPA Executive Director Susan Day and the NANPA conservation committee for making this book possible. Thanks to EMU for granting the gift of a sabbatical to enable fieldwork and research time, and special thanks to AnnaMaria Johnson for graciously putting up with many late nights in the field and being so supportive of this project. - Steve Content Editors: Michael S. Hayslett, Dave Huth Copy Editors: Julie Patterson, Anna Maria Johnson Readers: David Hand, J.D. Kleopfer"

Beautiful photography and a lot of good info on vernal pools and their critters!

I am so glad that you were able to navigate it, find it, and provide instructions for others. Not sure why it wasn't a direct link. It truly is quality work. The photography was stunning. It makes me want to try to get some underwater shots in my pond. I don't expect the same quality, but I'd be thrilled to even come close.

 I should have posted more if my progress last year...still not done, but a LOT more defined now...and starting to take shape. Over the past few days, I've moved a few more rocks to my "construction site" and yesterday began hiding the liner again on the main pond. I'm *hoping* to create the stream and waterfall this year...and dig out more for where I plan a wetland.

I'm not sure about that, but it does inspire me to try my hand at underwater photography and documenting the life it attracts. Already, I have seen the tiny minnows swimming around and a few tadpoles. I plan other sections with no fish that will function more as vernal pools.
