Okay, hands up all those who thought tadpoles were black...
I did. It never ceases to amaze me what you can see with a macro lens and some decent lighting...

Dave, this is the first time I've seen really good photos of a frog tadpole. I hope you're going to repeat the exercise weekly over the next few months to provide a complete Gallery of the metamorphic emergence to the adult

Took some more shots today, 8 days after the first ones, and there's little visible difference except they are a bit bigger. The aquarium they're in is outside so they will take longer to develop than if I brought them into the house where it's warmer.   
I'll try again next weekend and see if there's any sign of legs developing.
