From a small puddle,
beyond too huge to compute
or be frightened by.

      We have predominantly bullfrogs and tree frogs, but this year for whatever reasons, our pipeline was full of these guys that look like bullfrogs but are only 3 times the size of tree frogs, hopping everywhere in the pasture on the last irrigation. Because the line is off for 10 days at a time, I think the tadpoles matured in the pipeline’s standing water and were flushed out when I started the water. I’m afraid they didn’t last very long, fodder, I expect, for herons, egrets and crows.

      A relatively shallow and small puddle around an alfalfa valve, 4 foot diameter, in the early morning, sun from the upper left hand corner. I am learning that so much of color has to do with the time and the direction of the sunlight.
