Jennifer Cook's Tadpoles.

I captured some tadpoles. It took roughly 6 weeks for them to develop back legs...then it was only a couple of days before they became tiny froglets. Bob Smith, AKA Camera Mule, took these extraordinary photos. To use any of these you MUST get permission. CLICK on any photo to see a larger image with amazing detail.

My favorite photo. Back legs only.  
    Front legs!
    Godzilla beware.

Finally a frog (or toad, actually).
This photo is taken by Jenn with an ordinary camera with a macro button. Not the same thing, is it?
