Red Footed Frog
(Edited)
As a child, I collected frog eggs, hatching them in my fish tank. I was fascinated with the transformation of a water-breathing creature into an air-breathing amphibian. As soon as the polliwogs lost their tails and started climbing out of my fish tank, I would gather up the tiny frogs and turn them loose in our back pastures creek where I had collected the frog eggs. The frogs I collected were the Northern Red-legged variety.

So beautiful piece! I also used to collected frog eggs in my childhood, it was exciting to see how they became frogs. ^_^

Thank you @asadchughtai
Interesting story and painting. Did any frogs escape the tank completely to run around before you caught them? Enjoyed!
The first time I ran the experiment I was six years old and did not have internet back in the mid-60s. So I did not know what to expect except I knew polliwogs turned into frogs. Yes, some frogs escaped and I rounded up the others and turned them loose. The little ones that escaped I found dried up in odd places in the house...my poor Mom hahahaha
