frogs in ice melt
Wakanomori and I went walking with a friend at the Quabbin Reservoir, and we came to a little pool that was alive with frogs, swimming around in the melting water above the ice still covering the pool. Amazing! Aren't they cold blooded? But they didn't seem to mind the icewater--they swam powerful breaststrokes this way and that in the three inches of water above the ice.
Wakanomori took this video. You have to turn the sound up very high in order to hear them, probably. Unfortunately, no closeups of the athletic swimmers, but imagine them with long thin arms and legs and graceful webbed feet and hands, swimming here and there, and singing.

The other day, J took the kids down to practice their skateboarding on the stone jetty by the sea, and they found a very large freshwater puddle teeming with trash and tadpoles. J was a bit flabbergasted by the way the kids ignored their soccer ball and boards in favor of observing all that wiggly life. :P. They aren't my kiddos for nothing.

(But also, how cool that they have skateboards and a dad to take them someplace to practice because I also would love that!)
