The Pool is Open!

The vernal pool is filled with guests enjoying the sun and water.

The dogs make the guests feel welcome

by chasing them around.

They seek out the new visitors who are shy,

like this guy who hides underwater at first.

Can you see him?

When the dogs come close, though...

he moves to the "frogs only" area of the pool.

Froggie may not want to play with the dogs,

but he knows they can't get him.

Here's another guest holding very still underwater

where Jumpy doesn't even notice.

While the terriers look for frog visitors,

the big dogs think another kind of guest is much more fun!

They can't wait

to show them to you in the next post!
