Thank you for sharing such beauty with us.<br />Glad you included a frog as they are very special in my world.<br />Sorry to hear the SP is under the weather and hope he will soon be feeling much better. Hopefully he will pay a visit to the doctor for help if he doesn't soon improve.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-19701384419647230922015-02-02T19:06:19.191+11:002015-02-02T19:06:19.191+11:00Rawknrobyn: Thank you.
