Bullitoad #2011-2

My pond is green... and it ain't "with envy" that is for sure.  On the other hand the new tadpoles that were able to hatch are alive and well.  I'll not post pictures again as once you see a tadpole they all pretty much look alike. So here is a link to previous pictures that I've taken: LINK.

My estimation of the number of toadpoles is about 500.  Not as many as in previous years but it's good they are represented in the pond.

In other pond news:
  • The string algae is alive and well and we have a bumper crop... best year ever I'm sorry to say.
  • Leo the Leopard Frog is still hang'n around.  No mate and Leo seems to have given up on croak'n for a lady friend... sorry Leo.
  • The horrendous winds we had over the Memorial Weekend were amazing to see.  Waterfalls were blown backward.  Lily pads were twisted around each other.  Huge amounts of tree leaves and twigs were netted and picked from the pond.
That's the latest.

Whoohoo.

Poor Leo! Well, he has a whole year to perfect his looks and image. Hope he uses it wisely. Perhaps he should be kissing himself so he can turn into a prince sooner.
