Creature of the night.

Saw this little guy late one night, and couldn’t resist. My wife wasn’t too thrilled to learn that, instead of killing it, I took pictures of it. I disagree.

The tadpole that never grew up.

Last summer, a department at my wife’s university were doing research with a number of bullfrog tadpoles. They were going to ‘dispose’ of them, so we brought one home. In the end, sadly, he didn’t make it. I’m not sure whether it was a lack of friendship, poorly/overly oxygenated water, or if he was of a weak disposition to start with. We were very saddened.

Sand castles…uh, mountains. What fun!

The South Devon beaches…surprisingly good castle sand. Check out our moat! I think I’m at the bottom of it.
