Sussex Co. Fairgrounds, NJ
I had some time to kill at the NJ State Fair while my family and friends were risking their lives on the ferris wheel, so I took some pictures of cheap stuffed frogs in their natural habitat.

NYC Frog Project On The Road
Sitka, AK
Sitka National Historical Park
Sitka National Historical Park has a wonderful display of totem poles. Their web site tells the story of Alaska governor John Green Brady, who collected totem poles to exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1904 and at the Louis and Clark Centennial Exposition in Portland, Oregon, in 1905. According to the NPS: "Concerned that traditional art appeared to be disappearing from sparsely populated coastal villages, Brady conceived the idea of collecting totem poles and bringing them to a place where they could be preserved and people, including tourists, could view them." The totem poles returned to Sitka, and by 1906 they were on display; the site was designated a National Monument in 1910.

The mural on Juneau City Hall, painted by Bill C. Ray, Jr. in 1988, depicts the Tlingit creation story "Raven Discovering Mankind in a Clam Shell." This is a detail of the frog.

Frogs of the TImes
Frogs with a Venomous Head Butt
According to the article: "A single gram of toxic secretion from A. brunoi is enough to kill 300,000 mice or about 80 people. . . . It's unlikely a small frog can deliver a gram of venom in a single jab, but the researchers are planning to err on the side of caution."
