Exciting #frogpond update. After a few false starts, we definitely have legs now. Saw this #froglet zipping around. Looks like a #StripedMarshFrog. Also still have some #tadpoles who are not making the leap into froghood yet. They have really grown up.

Exciting news. Spring is here and my tadpoles have reappeared. They're so good at hiding and have gotten so big. There are at least three left, and after 11 months there are still no legs.

My pond is going strong. Saw this chubby tadpole out basking at the surface. Even better, there were about five tadpoles deeper down swimming about. No legs visible, so I wonder if this taddy is growing slow or maybe I saw a fast developer last time.

To be honest though, I am a bit worried about how still this little one was. I'll have to keep an eye on the pond and make sure it goes back to swimming with the rest soon.

Okay, I can do a before and after shot of my tadpoles now that they've come out to play. First pic is from when they first hatched back in October. They're growing so well.
