Baby Frogs and Baby Fish Abound

The march of the frogs has begun. In this picture you see a bunch of baby frogs getting ready to leave the pond. These guys are about one half inch long. They have lost almost all of their tails and have evolved from tadpoles to tiny frogs. Several tried to make it across the patio blocks the other day but it looks like they got stepped on by me or the Great Dane. Now that I know the march has started, I'll be much more careful where I step.
In addition to the baby frogs, we have a new crop of tiny baby fish. In this picture you can barely make out the thin line in the middle that is a baby goldfish. It should grow fairly fast to be an inch or two long by the end of the summer.
