FROGBOOTS' PHOTOS

I'm glad you like it, Ze. This is the kind of shot I could not get with my old camera.

Hmmm...either a case of mistaken identity, or you have given me a new name?

Thank you, Ze!

I do like the name...I can add it to my collection! (That's an inside joke I will explain on the 365 pilgrimage to Wildflowers and Dewponds of Europe! ) But do you not like Frogboots as a name?

"Sapo" means toad, no? Eu prefiro râs aos sapos, embora alguns sapos sejam bonitos. Perhaps "râ dos botinas" or "botinas da râ ?" Botinas da râ Ana!

Puss-in-Boots! But that's not quite the same thing as "cat boots," just as frog-in-boots (or "frog of the boots") would not be the same as "frog(-like) boots?"

No, I think I have only seen the first Shrek film, so I have not seen this cat, but I remember the story from my childhood. Do you know the traditional fairy tale about Puss-in-Boots? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puss_in_Boots_%28fairy_tale%29

It looks as tho' this story/image is the subject of a lot of creative interest recently! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puss_in_Boots

It is terrific...but I think I like Ratatouille even more. And the new "Wall-E" is supposed to be wonderful, so I look forward to seeing that!

I asked if you knew the Puss-in-Boots story because my impression of people my age and younger in the US is that they don't know the nursery rhymes and fairy tales that I learned and read as a child in Australia (pre-TV). My husband was only able to tell me the part of the story about the ogre turning himself into a mouse, and the cat eating him...which I'm sure is far more than the great majority could tell!

Ratatouille opened here about a year ago...I hope it's available in Europe now. I got the dvd for my daughter, son-in-law and grandson for Christmas, and they love it as much as we do: http://www.amazon.com/Ratatouille-Ian-Holm/dp/B000VBJEEG/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1215016268&sr=8-1

Well, now you know the part of the story about how the cat tricked the ogre, so his master the miller could claim the ogre's lands as his own!

I hope you will be able to enjoy Ratatouille soon!

I don't remember seeing a Heidi animation...I know the book, and I think I saw a movie with actors, tho' not sure if in a theatre or on TV. Was the animation a good one?

That was fun!

I also found some cute cartoon about penguins on there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYkm3d_JNmI&feature=related I will send these links to my daughter, so my 3 year old grandson can enjoy them. Obrigada, Ze!
