When we walked the loop on Monday, it was warm, but there was still a little snow and ice around.  

 

I took this picture looking down into the water;  you can even see a bit of ice on the surface.  See all those dark dots?  They are frog eggs.  We see them every year about this time, and watch as they hatch and grow into tadpoles and then into frogs.  It is fascinating to see the progression.

 

Next time you're down by the creek, be sure to look in the holding ponds.  All three ponds have frog eggs in them.  

 

HAPPY HIKING!!!
