These kids and their dad had a wonderful day together at the pond catching pollywogs on a bright, sunny July afternoon. Here they're on their way home with empty pails. But they're happy!Oh, they'd caught LOTS of pollywogs (tadpoles or very young frogs), they said, but decided to release them back into the wild. (I wonder how Dad talked them into that. LOL)

Dare I ask what a polywog is ? It sound intriguing !
Very good choice for Y ..
In my youth I would try to keep my catch from the local stream - always they would perish in the cold bath water and end up back in the water system via the lavatory!!
Great Y post and a super picture.

We should all be that (and some of us are!)
This is a wonderful photograph with a lovely family theme.
It's a very beautiful photo and a good choice for Y. But I don't know what polywogs are. I couldn't find it in my dictionary.
Petrus,
A polliwog is a tadpole, or very young frog.
I enjoy images of people taken from behind. Seems to reveal more about character rather than looks.
Ahh those were the days.
That is a neat shot.
I remember the carefree summers of catching tadpoles in my grandma's pond. This photo is great at representing those days.
Great photograph with a lovely family! Nice choice for the letter.
LOVE the photo - your idea was along the same lines as mine. We used to catch tadpoles and frogs in the ditches where I lived as a kid, but now those ditches are all covered over.
Ha! What a wonderful photo of dad and the kids. ah youth and polywogs...
I am glad that you told me what a pollywog is. We used to catch tadpoles (and frogs) all the time when I was a kid. My brother once dared me to drink a glass of water with five tadpoles in it. Sadly, I did.
I think that this might explain the indigestion.
Perfect portriat to capture the title.
Aloha,,
I love polywog.. catching tadpoles and minnows was a favorite childhood pastime of mine..thankyou for sharing the memories!!
peace, kai
We were allowed to catch them, but always had to put them back..at the time I didn't appreciate my Grandpa's logic..seems like their were plenty available....
The frogs are getting more quiet here..just the occasional green frog "glunk".
What a most delightful photo. I think it's BRILLIANT. And as for polywog what a great word. Never heard it before but will use it again in the future. Sounds a lot better than tadpole.Thanks
I loved to catch tadpoles as a child. I'd watch them until they developed enough to lose their tails and could hop around and then catch them and play with them.
Great shot! "Louis" can just hear those little ones chattering excitedly away!
After you stopped by, "Louis" and his Editor got into it again in the comments...
Great choice for your "Y: post.
Yes!

It’s always heart warming to me when I see an adult spending time with kids. Thanks for posting such a great photo.
(I’m not sure why the last 2 posts of mine had a whole bunch of gobbly gook mixed into my text when I posted.)
Delightful! Wonderful subject for Y theme.
I remember catching pollywogs in my Youth.
Beautiful photoof a Young family.

Your picture and words give much happiness.
My kids and I did the tadpole thing here in Israel too. It must have universal appeal!
Young at heart whatever age is a great choice. Blogging makes eternity.
So truthful and real to life.
Nice blog you live in a beautiful part of the world your very lucky. Great Y photo. thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment Best wishes Kev
A great interpretation for 'Y' and a fine depiction.
Photography does not get any better than this.
Patty and I will be celebrating 53 years of marriage on July 12th. Think of it as a long-term relationship.
I have invited bloggers to offer suggestions on a gift for me to give Patty and the list would not be complete without your ideas.

Ah to be young in summer - or any other time.
A wonderful post.
I did young as well! These letters at the end become very difficult for creativeness but I like yours!
A lovely tittle, a lovely post ,a lovely picture !!!

Polywog=Têtard !
pollywogs? - you mean frogspawn I presume - BTW the daisies and buttercups here are already back (until next Monday)
Great post. always nice to see the family enjoying themselves.
the old pollywog days, I remember them well.
I noticed you had a new header and now a new profile pic. It is fun to change them around. Mine seems stuck and I can't change it again--I wonder why. MB
A perfect Y capture! Love it! And your cat looks my late and beloved cat, Tally-WHO-who. Still miss him after all these years.
Great photo. :)
Most excellent illustration of Y!

This captures both youth and essence of summer. I try to remain "young at heart" but have to admit I'm getting old in body!
Nice family photo, at least putting the tadpoles back gives them a chance.
nice y
That is a very beautiful flower. I heard a story on NPR last month about a guy that goes to old home places and finds old flowers to transplant. Thanks for stopping by my place. Good morning from Mississippi, USA. I hope you have a wonderful morning!
Wonderful photo, thanks for stopping by my site.
Before the canal behind our place was piped in, there was usually an overflow area where the kids could catch pollywogs. Once the boys--the two younger ones who happened to share a bedroom at the time--brought some in and kept them in a container of water in a terrarium.
If you have pollywogs in a terrarium, be sure ther eis a screen on the top.
On night I was waken by a thump thump thump. I had forgotten about the pollywogs, and so apparently had the boys. The pollywogs, however, had done their thing--grown ito frogs, and the frogs were trying urgently to jump out my window.
