Checking up on these tadpoles after their last feeding
and only to find this foreign to the eye exhibit. Having
seen this iridescent belly on occasion when this variety
of tadpole swims belly up. Realizing that it may still
have some life, knowing they are mouth breathers.
Belly up and for the world to see. This tadpole must of
took a dare. There's got to be more than these three cups
of rainwater, frog waste and a limited diet.
Seeing it's jeweled belly I proceeded to dip my finger in
some water and placed this still life. Only to watch it
spring into locomotion. Ran indoors to get a piece of
culinary tissue, as in bathroom tissue that so happens
to be in the kitchen. Blotted it's ass up and back to whence
it came from. Not more than seconds goes by that another
decides to make a dive to an unknown destination. That
was not as easy to retrieve. That one made it back to it's
confines also. I took out some water so as not to give
the others the same idea. Because the next one or two
may not be that lucky.
