Tails of a Family

You can see Tad in his bowl, with the tail-ends of Lucy and Hammerhead outside of it.

It's extremely difficult to get newts to sit still for any kind of decent portraiture. This was the best shot I could get after several attempts.

Tad grows plumper everyday. He alternates between resting in the algae, nearly motionless, like an amphibious Buddha, and zipping about madly over the rocks, wildly circling his bowl, as if he'd just done a line of coke.
