Frogs

…everywhere! Every medium-sized puddle in the woods seems to vibrate with life. I’ve never seen so many frogs and frogspawn in one place. It’s going to be a tough year for the insects living near the water.

The frogspawn hangs in thick clumps along the banks, and if you look for a moment, it’s as if a thousand tiny eyes are staring back at you. “Banks” is a bit of an exaggeration, since these puddles will dry up completely again in the summer, but the frogs are surely used to that by now, and by then the offspring will already be on their own feet.
