Turtles and Tadpoles and Trails, Oh My!

Yesterday I went on another nature binge, finding among other things an exceptionally cute baby Painted Turtle! :D

Here are the toad and bullfrog tadpoles lying in wait for their adulthood - and hoping not to be caught in the little kids' nets!

And here are a few more wonders of nature that I found on my hike at Ashland.

Finally, here's a video of the little turtle being released back into the marsh. Very cute!!
