I'm not sure I should even post this picture, because I'm not really sure what it is. This is drawn from a photo taken in the spring.
I asked the pond critters for something new to sketch, instead of the same old swimming poses I drew them in. But I wasn't sure what the toads would give me when I heard them calling to me one day.
I went over to where I'd heard their croaking and looked down, but I didn't see anything, felt a strange urge to take a picture of it. Could it be toad eggs just before they hatched?
Bilbo wasn't much help when I went over to the Irrigation Ditch and asked him what he thought. He thought I should just sketch turtles.
