Spring is in the swamp!

My daughter and I stopped for a quick adventure in Hines Park today. I'd seen a nest in some bushes, and had hoped to spy a mama bird in action. The nest was abandoned. But the swamp was full of tadpoles. Brings back memories of frogging in a country ditch with my cousins. Coming back with big filthy smiles, and jars of tadpoles to watch grow. We did have to promises Grandma we'd put them back. Here are a few links to nurture the frogger in your life.
