Pour quoi frog?

Why frogs? Well, why not. These frogs are for Darcy, who has been in isolation in The Sydney Children's Hospital. If you want to follow Darcy's progress check out the journal updates here: www.caringbridge.org/visit/darcygilmour10/journal

If you want to make a frog you can find instructions at: http://www.savethefrogs.com/teachers/images/Origami-Jumping-Frog.pdf .

If frogs are beyond you, you can also give blood. Details of how available from the Australian Red Cross Blood Service.

A long lost relative?

When looking for branches on the family tree, frog found himself in the British Museum, where he met this chap.



A Late Predynastic - early First Dynasty, about 3100 BC frog, carved from andesite.  At the beginning of the First Dynasty a few large sculptures of animals were produced, the frog and baboon being popular subjects.
Frog could understand the popularity of the frog as a sculptural subject, but had no idea why anyone would bother with a baboon.
