vantage of a tadpole

For me poliwogs along with Sea Monkeys are  in that beloved group of creatures that inspire endless wonder.  I love anticipating the metamorphosis looking for the smallest signs in change - budding limbs  and dangling bits of poo.  Ever since I heard the chorus of frogs in our nearby rice paddy, I  knew I'd be catching myself some poliwogs.  So I did, and the past few week's I've been delighted by my new found friends.  This morning, though,  I notices a couple were looking peaked (overzealous feeding on my part?)  We're leaving for on a big trip in a couple of days, so I figure it was time for them to return to whence them came.  It was fun while it lasted.
