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.
Cute little fella!
