a little wild   (a small slice of wildlife)

I don’t know what these globules are, but I wish I did.

EDIT: Here is a useful comment:

With regard to those “globules” you had observed (and photographed), If they are not a type of aquatic/aero-aquatic fungus, then they most likely are Spotted Salamander spermatophores.   These are picked up by a female salamander, fertilized internally, and then in a few days she deposits them (as egg masses) on vegetation in a seasonal pool.  *And remember, along with that unique matrix covering them below water, they can often appear opaque in color, so quite different from Wood Frog egg masses.   Of course, both A Field Guide to the Animals of Vernal Pools by Kenney and Burne, and Vernal Pools: Natural History and Conservation by Colburn are terrific resources that will impart much, much more information.

A predaceous diving beetle. There were tons and tons of them. Every now and then one would climb out like this.

I don’t know what these are:

This terrible photo of a spider, maybe a dwarf spider, Erigoninae?
