  • Petrified Polliwog Puddle

    Photography for TEDxStGeorge at Electric Theater was done the night before. Jami Lah had more in store for us. Exploring and soul-searching near Petrified Dunes in Snow Canyon State Park was our first adventure of the day. A short hike, followed by a calming breathwork and yoga session with Ryan Bean yoga was phenomenal. Afterward, I decided to continue hiking and photographing the beautiful surroundings. While I was hiking around I saw some reflections in rain puddles that caught my eye. That’s not all, as the tiny creatures fluttered about just under the surface. They are baby toads or frogs or who knows what. Some people call them polliwogs, and some call them tadpoles. They are amphibians, and I don’t know how they got there.
