Tadpoles

IMG_6507


I'm kinda disappointed in these but wanted to share them anyway. We stumbled on a small pond of tadpoles and I enjoyed looking at them in their various stages of growth.

I wish there had been more light, and maybe I shouldn't have chosen that moment to play with the polarizer but I gave a shot and tried to keep from falling in.

Can you see that there's really small tadpoles in there too? Tons of them! Little black flecks.

    I haven't seen a tadpole in AGES!!! Probably the last time I saw one...I was a little kid!! I would have been pretty fascinated by them as well!!

    They are cute :) But you are right, it would be better if there is more light :)

    I could use some of these for our pond. I think the egrets ate all my other ones. :(

    I think the shots turned out great. I see them occasionally in the pond down by our garden, but unfortunately haven't been able to get any shots this good.

    I can envision it now.... you hovering over the pond and if someone touched you, you'd be in it with them!! :-)
    we photogs will get in the craziest positions for a shot!!

    Very cool!

    Tadpoles remind me of my childhood when we used to go looking for them :)

    Glad you pointed out the babies ... I never would have realized that's what the specks were.

    I like that last shot best, the three of them swimming around together.

    I've gotta show these to my little one. We've been reading about how frogs develop so he'll get a kick out of these.

    That brings back the memories, we always captured a few as kids and watched them develop.
