When I saw your post about pollywogs, bells went off in the back of my mind and after a search with Google also found that sailors that haven't crossed the Equator are also called pollywogs
Nice photo of a childhood activity still done today.
Looks like great fun for those youngsters!
Beautiful classic summertime shot! Nice capture.
Nice to see that kids are still catching pollywogs in the summertime.

Guess those youngster are having a great time enjoying nature at it's best!
Shame they are all boys! I used to love doing this when I was a wee lass. Then watching them turn into frogs over the weeks. Great times ...
I remember doing exactly the same as a kid in UK! But of course, our frogs had a British accent!!!
It looks extraq fun to me too.
What fun! I'm glad kids are still enjoying the summertime ritual. My pond was full of the little creatures and now FROGS. MB
Looks the kids had a great time! Great photos, too!
