This week's IF topic is "giant," so I present to you the Giant Toad (Bufo marinus). Ugly, ain't he? I chose the accompanying words from a Voltaire (French writer & philosopher) quote that goes: To a toad, what is beauty? A female with two pop-eyes, a wide mouth, yellow belly and spotted back. Voltaire's works and ideas influenced important people who influenced the American revolution, so it seems appropriate that I post this etegami on Independence Day.

ReplyDeleteI sure do appreciate your visiting my blog, Neil and Steve!
ReplyDeleteNice! I had one of these guys (or something like him) in my house today! Thanks for stopping by my blog, and for your kind comments. How cool that you live in Japan. I just came back from a visit there and loved it!
ReplyDeleteNeil sent me here and I'm glad to have stopped by! I'm off to buy etegami supplies today. I hope to contribute to your veggie mail art in Feb.
ReplyDeleteWonderful work!
Blogger was acting up yesterday and ate up some of the comments that were posted earlier. (Weep!) My apologies to the kind people who left comments. Please come back again to visit.
