Upon closer inspection we realized it was a huge string of eggs! I had never seen this kind of thing before. His dad told us later that they were probably salamander eggs. I took some photos and will send you a pic of them privately. I felt so stupid for not knowing what they were .... but Luke didn't either and he's a teen!

Is it just a business holiday? Does it commemorate anything?<BR/><BR/>I used to catch tadpoles as a kid. When we had heavy summer rains in Florida they would magically appear in the big puddles and ditches, and it seems in my memory like they only lasted a few days. I imagine being in a puddle they had to metamorphose pretty quickly before their spawning ground dried up. I shudder to think how much torment I put those little tadpoles through, trying to catch them! :(Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21985601.post-58375053225678624352009-04-09T19:38:00.000+01:002009-04-09T19:38:00.000+01:00I always loved tadpole adventures in the spring wh...I always loved tadpole adventures in the spring when I was young.
