I’m impatiently waiting for the huge number of tadpoles thriving in The Great Swamp to begin to develop their legs. I do hope that many of them will survive to maturity and beyond.

Wow. Beautiful 🙂
Thanks!
wrigglesome * …very …
reminds me of pond dipping … watching them in jam jars … and then terrible things happened … EEK
… here’s to legs and beyond Elena 🙂
Thanks Poppy!
These critters were fascinating when I was a kid, & they still are. Thanks for evoking a childhood memory.
Childhood memories for me too. Thanks for chiming in:)
I like the snake…but I LOVE the tadpoles!
I’m with ya Robin:)
Oh, I just love tadpoles! We always collected some in a bucket as children, watched them grow at home and then turned them back to the reservoir – just the most amazing transformation to watch!
I did as well. They are a wonderous! Thanks Cath!
Whoa…lol I hope they make it, too. Cool shot 🙂
Thanks Allyson Marie, me too:)
this is exciting to see! great photo Elena
Yes Eddie, I’ll try to visit them often-we’re all pulling for them!
Such wonderful colours! Tadpoles enjoying their little patch of sun. If you didn’t know what they were, it would be impossible to know if they are little or giant, whale sized creatures. Can you imagine!
Great imagining Anna! There IS something whale-like about them.
A wonderful, slithering mass of them. : )
To maturity and beyond !
That’s the spirit Karen!
This image makes me think of Frodo. Haven’t seen him yet this year. I hope he comes back for another summer.
Yes! Frodo’s kin. I hope he’ll visit Jill!
Like a chaotic Big Bang of life, whose survival appears to be governed by a somewhat random law.
So true, nature rules here.
How cute…just wait til they turn into zillions of frogs. CRRRROK
I’ll have to record them:)
Interesting. They look like spoons floating in water
Yeah, I guess they do:)
It’s a process that never ceases to amaze!!
So true Louis!
Wow! a booming bass chorus coming soon …
Oh I hope so:)
Very beautiful image. In my country they say that water in living tadpoles is the cleanest water, healing … I did not try I can confirm! I just believe a myth!
Have a wonderful Sunday dear Elena and many blessings! Big hugs, much love, Stefania! 🙂
I’d like to believe it too:) Thank you Stefania!
They’ll live. Tadpoles are hardy little things. I don’t recall ever having seen them with legs. I know I must have seen every stage since I grew up near ponds and streams where we played as children. You captured a great photo of them. I can see the eyes even! 🙂
YES! I find that exciting as well. Hope I’ll have more photos of these little guys to share. Thanks George:)
I can’t wait to see them with legs, too. I love that you share your unique eye for nature with us (some of whom aren’t so naturally inclined…)
It is my pleasure. Thanks Gabriel.
‘Zillions’ I love the way that word just leaps from my tongue … I’ll be watching to see their progress
I’ll be documenting:)
Oh, I have so many fond memories of watching tadpoles grow! Thank you, Elena 🙂
Me too Leslee, a childhood filled with tadpoles. Thanks for visiting:)
amazing picture!
Thanks Carol!
That’s so cool!
Thanks Rae. I really enjoy these little guys.
Blime !
Is it already tadpoles in your area ?
Oh yes, for a couple of weeks now.
