Spring Frog Spawn 2015 & Childhood memories

            Freshly laid frog spawn in a large overgrown wildlife pond - Spring 2015

Life begins and spirits rise
And they become memories that vaporize
And the vapor becomes the dreams we devise
And while we are dreaming time flies,
And while we are dreaming time flies.
 
Lyrics by Jimmy Webb from the song "Time Flies"

I remember collecting frog spawn when I was at school and watching the tadpoles grow legs and leave the pond.

Is it me or do each of these tadpole eggs look like the eye of a frog? Or have I had too much caffeine again?  :-)
