Today's frog is the upper Amazon tree frog.
Amazing! A caillach could be an old woman or a goddess pretending to be an old woman. This is just such a magical work!
Ban-Dia nan coilltean
The caillach cut off my hand
Jealous that it touched her son
In ways she could not
I wait, hiding in the woodlands
Tall, surveying my lands
Her spell will fail in time
And we will be united
(Title: Goddess of the woods)

Every time I walk past this bit of fallen tree I can't help imagining it scuttling around, crablike, after sundown, and getting up to no good.

Irish Social Democrats have insisted Ireland must not "bow down to bullies" when Taoiseach Micheál Martin meets Trump at the White House on St Patrick's Day.
Govt policy is to humour Trump & keep a low profile, lest his fascist regime interfere in Ireland as much as Biden.
