A string of pond pearls,
Toad craft coiled in the reed beds,
Weary mothers spawn.
Bit of a sensory overload, so many inspiring things to see and hear on the moors. Greater Spotted Woodpeckers competing, drumming out their territories. My first bumblebee of the spring (Deb saw one a few days ago). Daffodils pushing through the earth. More laughing Green woodpeckers. Blossom on the blackthorns. The white cherry blossom in the lane and the ubiquitous birdsong.
But what was most exciting was seeing the toads in the pond. Not just that, but also their spawn. How beautiful. I like this photo as the sky merges into the surface of the pond, but my shadow allows a window into the depths of it, so in my dark reflection, the pretty string of toad spawn.
