  5. Oh, your pond is full of life. Ours is too. I love frogs and toads. We have lots of them and I can never get over their cycle of life. It is quite amazing, isn't it ? You are a bit ahead of us as our water lilies aren't out yet.
    Enjoy your time with your baby !! XXXX

    I wish you a wonderful weekend!

  9. Did you notice that every time there is something miraculous, in regard to nature, the Petite Pooch is at the center of it. Remember the baby squirrels hanging on to her pant-leg?

  10. Hola Laura,
    De pequeño me gustaba cojerlos, me los llebava a cas hasta que se convertian en ranas y se escapaban :D

    En catakan se llaman capgrossos que es español significa cabezas-gordas
    Buena semana
    Unas fotos estupendas

  15. Poochy, one of the reasons I had kids was so I could go through the tadpole watching process again! Think of the many wonderful hours I'll be able to spend like you by the lake down the track with my own tadpoles checking out natural life as I homeschool them...
    I've been having a blast going through your ticket stubs too! Great catching up on it all.
    I know why you can't see dust though - it's all the toad observing. Must do more of that myself ;-)
