Critter Cousins

A  L  O  H  A !

A Tree is a Critter If You Love It

"The wall is silence,
 the grass is sleep,  
Tall trees of peace 
their vigil keep,
And the Fairy of Dreams 
with moth-wings furled
Plays soft on her flute 
to the drowsy world."
                 Ida Rentoul Outhwaite 












Brush Lizard, Marin California


Life is too short 
to be small.
                          Benjamin Disraeli












Gold Dust Gecko, Hawaii


"A smile will gain you 
ten more years of life." 
                         Chinese Proverb

    The reptiles are quite a treat. We tend to have few kinds of reptiles here.

    I love the field with all the green grass and the tree. Great poems and quotes, too.

    I have not seen a lizard since moving here to Germany...I do not even know if they exist here. I miss seeing them :)

    Agree with the tree!

    Like the brush lizard.
