Say Hello to My Little Friend...

The frog sitting on my window sill this morning. He's on glass, so I can see all his little toes from underneath. As I write this, he's still sitting next to me, nappin'. This frog and I have a lot in common.

So green. Tess thinks we should call him Kermit, of course, but this morning I think I named him "Holy sh**!" as I leapt from my chair.

The Streets of Philadel...er, Port Moresby

In the mornings, there are lots of people sitting on the street corners with tables. I think they are selling food.

I'm trying to capture (as we fly by in the van) how tons of people are always walking, always crossing the streets, etc.

Another attempt to capture the walkers

So pretty!
