Tadpoles coming

 

The day after this close encounter there were little discs,

about half the size of a dime, floating in the pond.

Several days later,

they were swimming and the little pond was host to hundreds of tadpoles or pollywogs!

 

After a few weeks…

back legs, then front legs, and the tail disappears.

 

Before you know it, they are hopping out and about – tiny toads!

It's one of nature's greatest shows.
