Ode to animals (and creeping things)

This post is to explain the new slide show with the same title. The first set is from the bbq we had over and Uncle Bob DeRyke's house. We had a lovely time until Chris was attacked by a man-eating moth. It was about the size of my palm and I wear an xxl glove. Cool huh. Next, is Hannah and the parrot. A repairman came over to work on the shower in the studio and he brought this parrot with him. It was very tame as you can see and weighed about the same as hannah. It talked to her on her shoulder and april snapped a couple shots with her phone. Sorry for the lower quality photos. We also went to turtle bay for a quick visit while dropping off a few of Lindsey's friends, most of you know Anne and Mary Jane, the Dunkley girls. They are in Liae for a few months. We found this cute (and tasty) little crab shell by the beach. Nifty eh. The last set of pictures have a story behind them. Now, for those of you who don't know, we live in an area called enchanted lakes. we are really close to a fresh water lake, well its more of an overgrown pond, but with it comes all sorts of animal life, birds, mosquitos, squirrels, mosquitos, and toads (and mosquitos). We get these palm sized toads in our yard nightly, they have a very nice chirping croak. Actually it is kind of nice, not at all annoying like the bullfrogs back in the U state. We snapped these pictures during the first few days we got here. Shockingly they aren't mean at all and just act like normal toads. Funny for something so TOXIC. Yeah maw, we found that out a few days later that the toads we were playing with have a very noxious spit and excrete poison from their backs....they're only deadly to dogs and such that would try to make a tasty morsel out of them. We had to convince Chris that frog legs and toad legs aren't the same...
Cool huh. We also went to sharks cove yesterday and had an absolute BLAST snorkeling and seeing all the fish in the tide pools. We don't yet have an underwater camera so you can't partake in the excitement, yet. But be forewarned. This snorkeling is definitely habit forming. (pics comming soon).
