In the lake Titicaca, very interesting kind of toad lives. Translation of its name means "Dancing Toad", it really dances in the cloudy water full with chalk. There are about million of toads in the lake. They could go down at quite significant depth and there continue to dance, and in contrary to its classification as amphibia it never go out to the ground. The toad is honored at many Indian tribes as keeper of the main treasure - the water.
From the childhood I liked many beings connected with water. As a little girl, I used to catch frogs and toads, caressed and watched them.
In "Ninth Sphynx", my photo and biography were placed to this image of toad.
