very cute. I can see many are going this route with the frog haiku!! (meaning not doing a nature scene. I sure could not come up with anything about nature really!!)

Hi Jan:) To be quite honest I am not sure if this is a haiku or not, but I had little time to reconsider my idea...mine was the last entry. I came back to edit and add pictures. Thank you for stopping by; hugs // paul
