Some Times Frogs Pee on You

I took this picture shortly after this frog peed on the shoe of my wife. She was trying to encourage him to get off the path so he didn't get run over by a bike, or stepped on by a hiker. He apparently knew what he was doing and did not want to be told what to do next. Some times we don't like to be pushed off the path we view as the right one for us, but sometimes when we are it is for our own good. Sometimes by someone that knows the dangers of that path a lot better than we do. And rather than thanking them for their gentle encouragement we pee on their shoe and are on our way. Though that frog may never come back and thank the person that was kind enough to get them off the wrong path, a friend might or a child might.

How the World Sees You.

Every one is full of opinions on who and what we should be. You may be mocked for the way you look, the way you walk, or the way you talk. We all look goofy at some point whether on accident or purpose. Don't let the opinions of others determine the way you see yourself.

A Flower for the Lady

This little gem comes from a trip up Rock Canyon in Provo, Utah. There are some very beautiful wild flowers and a wide variety of animals up the canyon. It is only five minute from the campus of BYU and serves to entertain a large student body, and the surrounding community.
