Connecticut is such a fantastic place to find salamanders if you know where to look. Up where I live in the Northwest Corner they are still fairly common. Those are some fantastic pictures though, i've never seen a marbled or a tiger in the wild.

We should get "future" and all go on an expedition.

Welcome to the forum, Future. Lovely photos. It looks like you switched cameras or lenses half way through?

Beautiful.

Same camera and lens. I just took more time with some of those shots. I am hopefully going out this saturday to photograph Spotted Sals at a spot in CT. Will post pics!
