First, I hear a splash in the water tub. I watch and there is a lovely fully grown
adult frog in amongst all the tadpoles.
No idea how he got there. Has he
been there all winter? Quite possibly! Although
I would have expected spawn if so. He
seemed very at home and did not disappear when I dashed for the camera.
Then, down the dark end, where all the tadpoles gather another
splash and another adult frog!
It’s incredible to think they grow from a mere tadpole into a
4- 5inch long creature…
I put the hose in the pond and raised the water level which
gave the fish the opportunity to swim over the wire and into tadpole land…stupid
me…yum yum said the fish.
And the tadpoles just LOVE munching on that lobelia. If you look close enough you can see their little
mouths working on the flowers.
Pond lily finally starting to sprout…garden looking green
and luscious.
