Frog

The pond was full of silt washed in from the earth around it, so this weekend, I decided that it was time to clean it out.  First, I rescued as many tadpoles as I could catch, then emptied out most of the water by siphoning it with a hose, then started to remove the mud with a plastic jug. At the end of the process, there were two frogs at the bottom of the liner, struggling to move on the slippy liner. In the end, I helped them to get out onto the grass, and they hopped off, probably to the pond in a nearby garden. There are more shots in extras.
