Sermons in stones, and good in everything.”

The toad, ugly and venemous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head – good in everything! (as someone famous once said!) One of our favourite creatures! Pip
You know your Will Mr. Pip!
Thank you for your kind comment; AYLI is one of our truly favourite plays!
What a beautiful Toad and a fabulous photograph. It is such a delight to come across such magical creatures in their habitat.
It is!
great frog pic
To be anthropomorphic – toads always look glum or ironic. “That was a REALLY bad pun!”
Where’s that Shakespeare quote from?
oh not sure of the source text, just so fond of this one I know it out of context
It appears he has a friend, there on the left. Isn’t that a snail? Wonderful photo, that only adds proof for my theory that frogs smile, and toads grump.
AH! Love that theory – smiling frogs and grumpy toads! Someone else noticed the ‘friend’ and thought it might be a snack…
Charming toad – and a perfect quote.
This is a superb photo of Mr. Toad! They never, ever pose so well for me. 🙂 Thank you, as always, for marrying photos and words.

Handsome guy – I hope he ate that fat slug to his right! (Can you tell I’m not too fond of slugs?) 😉
He looks a bit grumpy! What kind is he?
Has the look of a wise, old sage! 🙂

I wish I had this (picture plus quotation) on my wall so I could smile and nod off and on during the day, every day.
