Ted hits puberty...

Wildlife

"It's a beautiful world out there, just waiting to be discovered. Well, discovered by one of you, the rest will almost certainly die."

'Thanks, we really appreciate this. Yeah, the middle button. Don't worry, it's auto-focus - just aim and shoot.'

'Hey, Baby! How would you like to kiss the frog formerly known as 'Prince'?'

But there are other pleasures still for the fisherman's delight....for nature is everywhere about him.

Mother Duck.

"This blood knot ought to be re-named the blood, sweat and tears knot."

Business Duck

"I can't wait to start growing limbs so that I can use a tablet..."

'My horoscope said I was going to make someone happy today.'

When bored, we board

Buck Naked

Sooners! Opening day of fishing.

'Who's best friend are you?'

Meanwhile back at the pond 'Wow... nice pad man!'

"Well, I'll be darned. It does come with its own creature."

Vernal Pond: Here today. . . gone tomorrow.

'It's so embarrassing. My mother had my tadpole tail bronzed!'
