At first glance, it was hard to see what was in the water.

At second glance, I discovered that the pond was full of these tiny critters. Without my 600mm lens, I might have missed seeing them. However with "Big Bertha" to help me, I found a photo moment.

These little fellows were probably 2 inches large at the biggest - probably smaller. This image shows a handful of the mini frogs congregated on about one third of a normal sized lily pad. They were some distance away.
