Hi! Mr. John here. Welcome to The Ugly Frog (tm). The Ugly Frog is the name of my fishing Kayak and it's the name of this blog! What an amazing coincidence! OR AM I the ugly frog?!? Anyway, welcome! The things I enjoy in life most include being in nature and shooting nature photos, kayaking and kayak fishing, and reading classic literature, drawing here and there and other creative things (and more of course). Here, you can enjoy those things with me! You may say: "John, your site is so basic! no fancy frills!" Correct. . . . no cheap thrills. I am old school and program it myself with basic HTML in a note document (I'm a high tech coder!). I create all the amazing graphics myself too! haha. . all photography etc are my own. No stock photography here! All mine. Simple. Basic. Hope you don't mind. Classic Literature Reading UpdateMy thoughts on classics I have recently finished reading are posted in the classic literature area for: My Antonia by Willa Cather, Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson and most recently Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak. I am now as of 8 April 2025 starting into The Secret Garden! Thank you for following along!
