Frog Adventures










eye to eye
with the stone Buddha -
the small green frog







Auge in Auge
mit dem Stein-Buddha -
der kleine Frosch







This time Karl, our tiny Frog Friend, had really out-done himself
in finding a place for his daily nap.

Oh Gabi,
this is another wonderful glimpse of Karl...
what fun you must have, wondering where he'll hop next!
