I was having a rather hard time trying to photograph the small black frogs swimming around. Whenever they see me, they jump back into the water. As I splashed around the stream looking for any frogs sitting on the rocks, I noticed something like a Jelly Fish. I was sure it could not be a jellyfish as they only occur in Sea Water. As I looked closely and examined it, I realised that they were actually frog eggs. I got my camera out and took a shot.

Just a few minutes after photographing the frog eggs, I came across a small yellow tadpole swimming around in the water near the rocks. It was as big as the frogs and so I don't think they belong to the same species. I did encounter a few of these tadpoles but I didn't manage to get a shot because they wee too fast. I took my chance and photographed the tadpole before it swam away.

After hours of hunting in the stream, our parents started to use sticks to hit down Wild Pomelos. Poor folks, they didn't even manage to hit one down. Just as I was about to try, I noticed 2 frogs clinging nearby onto a rock. I just tried my luck. I moved in and managed to take a shot. It wasn't very clear though. But the picture did show a clear image of the frog on the left.

After taking that shot, I realised that the frog which could not be clearly seen was still there clinging onto the wet rock. The other one had jumped away the moment I stood up. I tried my best to move in slowly and take a shot. Bingo! I got a clear shot of the tiny frog.

In the meantime I managed to hit down 3 big Pomelos for my parents. They were satisfied at last. But just as I was about to start eating a piece I noticed another frog nearby. My camera was so close to the frog but it didn't move at all. Without even moving my camera, I used a soft flash and took a shot. Wow, I got it clear!

After looking through these photos did I realise that I had seen all three generations in the life cycle of a frog. First I saw the Frog Eggs, then the Tadpoles, followed by the Frogs!
