Tadpole Shadows

Tons of tiny tadpoles.

What lies beyond
tadpoles in the pond?

Lots of little frogs.

What lies beyond
frogs in the pond?

More fabulous frogspawn.

What lies beyond
frogspawn in the pond?

Tons of tiny tadpoles.

I spotted the first frog in the pond on 11 February, followed by the first frogspawn twelve days later. Now there are taddies galore, from several layings of spawn.
