Squirming and sliding...

not coming to your house for soup! nice crop/frame

How cool! Wish I were there to take pics too :)

Thanks velveteagle!

LOL Rob! I wouldn’t either!

Yeah, it was fun Ali! Although I didn’t do any of the actual catching this day, a real hand over to the next generation!

From the mucky Earth comes life. Cool shot Damain!

That’s very apt Von! Thanks!

hehe nice :)

Primordial soup! Great to see frogs breeding so well. Nice one Damian.

How cool to see this, nice to have a bit of water around for them to breed in, bet the kids loved it…cheeers

After reading your Kraken story, my first thought was that these were gigantic beasts!! Still cute tho

top shot…...........brings back memories…...............almost froggies…..........we only get black ones around here….................thanks for sharing mate
xkc

Thanks PhySpi!

They were breeding better than I’d expected to see Brett, which was great as the mozzies were being looked after better than I’d thought too!

Thanks Kym! There was lots of water for a change, and the kids did love it (despite slips in the muddy water LOL!)

Heheh Kaitlin! They were pretty big, but maybe not gigantic :)

Thanks Karen :)
Yep, some were very close to complete, and they’re a real mixed bag of species out there too (via Goondiwindi).

Wow…so many too…never seen tadpoles in action before…so this is really awesome!!

I love it… although its disgusting grotty too lol… no offence lol.. but I love the picture. Just not the mud lol.

Thanks Rachel, LOL, helping show the hidden life of frogs :)

LOL jaycee! It wasn’t too muddy, just that’s the colour of the water in all the creeks and waterholes :)

nice capture

Thanks mlgkats!

So THIS is what happens when you leave your semen in a jar on the windowsil for 3 weeks!

LOL, I’m not even able to argue with you, not having tried it…!

Wonderful capture Damian

Thanks Helene!

What a fabulous opportunity to capture an amazing image. Great shot.

Thanks a lot Lisa, glad you like it!

awesome shot..was thinking of making stew for dinner tonite…but now im thinking salad

oh cool .. I used to catch them when I was little .. .but they were all black !

LOL Catherine! They wouldn’t probably taste that good (a bit muddy!)

Thanks Elaine! There’s some black ones in there too, but a real mixed bag of frog species here!

That’s wicked good!

Thanks Michelle :)

Cool shot

Thanks Jodie!

A Go Go

Very cool!

Thanks checkma8; thanks Kandy! Glad you guys like it!

wonderful natural capture …
so happy to hear catch and release

Thanks Kharma, glad you like it! Definately a catch and release, all these guys are native frogs, so I’d hate to impact on them :)

This is a great photo. Icky little buggers! Great shot.

LOL, thanks Helen :)
Out there it’s them or mosquitoes, so they’re a blessing!

Love this beautiful in so many ways. so is the description.

Thanks Lisa, I’m glad you think so (I have it as my work computer background at the moment, and was told how ugly they looked by the girl working for me, LOL. Frogs are cute, really, but she just didn’t see it!). And glad you liked the description!

Great capture

Thanks Michelle!

Well done with the rescue and a great learning experience for the kids. A great capture in both ways.

Thanks EdgeOfReality :)
There were a few lessons learnt by the kids that day, LOL! Lots of fun.

excellent capture
great colours

too cool.. i remember catching these when is was a young girl.. great job

very nice capture. you did get all the stages, that’s great!

Love the shot!

Wow, that brings back memories! Cool that you’ve got the taddy’s and inbetween stages to the frog. Clever.

Thanks Splogy, I like the way there was the mix of stages too :)

Beautiful capture. Great clarity of details and colors. The tadpole’s transition stages are superb.
This is another favorite of mine.

Frog soup….yum….hehe….what a great shot Damian….very interesting….

My pleasure. Yes. they are wriggly little rascals.:)

Nice work.

The colours in this are lovely!

cool thought you could only get black ones love the colours

Love this image…
Regards,
David

Freaky cool! I can relate this picture a lot. It is great. Smiles from Jane:-)

Great shot! Wish I was there because I am nothing but a very big and old kid!

Wow, you really have represented all the growth stages. I want to hold them all. Slimy and wonderful. Tremendous shot Damian.

Fantastic! I love frogs, and those ones with the green stripes are amazing. That takes me back to tadpole hunting when I was a kid (always a catch and release effort here too.) Great shot! :)

freaky, intense, and fascinating. great photo.

Very nice!!!

Eww, even the picture looks slimy :D

Awesome capture, I love the life here, especially since there are frogs as well as tadpoles. The whole cycle is in this pic! Very cool ^^

I like this image, First Nations people used tadpoles as fertilty symbols because they appeared after the desert and high plains rain. Now I always think of them this way, symbolizing spring, abundance after a drought, and life. Nice capture.

awww.. Damian this would go great in our current Tadpole Challenge
