| One day we looked in the pond and, lo and behold, frog eggs!!!!! Although I have not seen many frog eggs in my time, I just knew that's what they were. And I was right because shortly after----tadpoles! |
I planted the waterlilies around April 14, 2015. The Yellow one is a Charlotte Strawn and the little pink one is a Pink Beauty. I got them about 1/2 price from a dealer online who was stopping their mailorder business.
And these are the tadpoles--hundreds upon hundreds! |
A Carolina Green Anole, I think. |
A dragonfly that escaped the Zipper spider.
Hanging out on the horsetail reed. All summer they swarmed around the pond doing elaborate zipping and diving and bending this way and that. I don't know if it was a territorial display or a courtship dance. Whatever it was, it was pretty acrobatic and amazing.
This is perhaps the layer of the eggs. An American Toad maybe? I'm not a zoologist and have to look everything up and make my best guess.
