Seeing is Believing

At some point in our lives, whether we were children or even as adults we have been told "seeing is believing". I am going to tell you now that seeing is possibly not always believing. I sat out on a rock this morning at 6:30 trying to get a picture of something that is in our pond. In May we put in a beatiful pond/waterfall feature in our backyard. Then we had the raccoon invasion but also during that week our pond was visited by the loudest frog I have ever heard. It was so loud you couldn't even hear the water! Sleep was pretty nonexistent that week. Jeff and I tried to locate it but as soon as we would go out he would be quiet. Well, the other day Jeff was out walking after work and I see him waving to me to come outside........I was trying to make dinner so I was annoyed that I had to go outside! But what a surprise our pond is full of tadpoles! Our loud little frog obviously was very busy in her brief visit to the Helsdonia Pond! If you can't see the tadpole in the picture this is where the just having to believe me comes in! Has anyone ever tried to take a picture of a tadpole? Trust me not easy!
Does anyone know how long it takes a tadpole to become a frog? They have grown a bunch since the first day we spotted them. It is like being a kid again!

    That's great..I see them! When the kids were younger we would go to "the pond" in the woods and bring back tadpoles. It took a month or two to get frogs and toads. We would then drive to Crescent Lake and release them. I can't believe we did this several years in a row. You won't have to do a thing, they can just live happily Helsdonia Pond!
