Frogtub

"Iceskater" is the translation for the insect that glides over the watersurface like we only can when ice skating. In Dutch there is no "ice" invovlved in the word "Schaatsenrijder"(literally it would be "Skaterider").
A buried plastic cement tub is used as a small pond in my garden. Total span about 80 cm. But it's full of frogs. From my sleeping room I've seen as much as 6 in one time. Last week it was good weather and I liked to lunch and rest a little in the garden. If I was quiet enough, the frogs gave a concert.

Tick That

A tick is called a "teek" in Dutch and is pronounced the same as "Take". "That" is "Dat", almost sounds the same. That's why I wrote "Teek Dat" on the T-shirt, because on this drawing schoolkids have to point out the most likely places where ticks like to land.

Butterfly-It-Yourself

The Pupa stage in which the Caterpillar is rebuilding itself to a Butterfly. On the banner > "Goodbye liitle Caterpillar". On the door handle > "SSSSSH! Butterfly in the make".

If I ever see them again, I will mash them

The Cypriotic family Potatous came over. I invited them to dinner, but they have disappeared completely after that. Without a word.

Faces in Places: Climbing Frog

This frog is a clamp normally used on climbing walls. I photographed it on a very small ramp, part of a kids climbing installation. Ramp no more than 1,5 à 2 meter.
One of my photographs for Flickr "Faces in Places" got selected for the blog with the same name. I called it "Small Monster Currant Roll" The blogpublisher called it "Troll roll".

Late Christmas this year?

I found this sketch I made for my blog, to tell you of my motorride and how it must have looked, to collect a Christmastree. I lost it in the chaos of my rooms, where stuff keeps lying around because of my lack of energy and my feeling sick. Now I know for almost certainty what is the matter and just need to stay put to get it proved and get the doctor to help me and believe me, I'm slowly seeing the mess I'm in and starting bit by bit to clear it, and this came up. It's a late Christmas this year.
