Wood Frogs

The Wood Frogs were active yesterday in the little pool in the Honors Garden at Mt. Pleasant Farm. It was a warmer day than we’ve experienced anytime recently – getting into the 70s. Some of the frogs were warming in the sun on the rocks beside the pool

Or lounging on the surface of the water.

There are so many of them that they tend to float into each other and then there is a flurry of activity as they loll on the surface.

There are already some eggs in the pool. It’s only the beginning. And then the pool will be teeming with tadpoles eating everything in sight.

Eventually the tadpoles will become frogs and the pool will be cleaned out and the pump turned on – the pool becomes the welcoming fountain of the Honors Garden in the summer.
