This is a common froghopper also known as a spittlebug. It is a little bug that looks a bit like a frog and it jumps like mad! It is a little cutie I think.

My post today for Signs
Where I live, the graffiti is normally very bad, boring and childish but I spied this and thought it was so cool and more interesting than the usual!

A Beautiful Crow
It is no secret that I love crows. I think they are wonderful birds and so intelligent! I take lots and lots of photos of them! This one is so very beautiful I think. I met him in April this year!

This is my post for Signs today.
I spotted this last August at Dover. It made me giggle so much! I think that is because I am a huge Peter Green fan!!

Update
Hello everyone. I hope you are all well. I am doing good now.
For a few months after Christmas I really wasn't well. I had constant colds, chest infections and just really not well. In early March I decided to quit my 5 cups of coffee-a-day habit and cut coffee out completely. I did it cold turkey. The first week was rough, let me tell you! The second week things started to pick up. After 4 weeks I started drinking 1 black tea or 2 green teas. I noticed a big difference giving up coffee - sleeping better, stomach is better and generally feeling a lot better. Since I quit, I haven't been ill either! 3 months without any issues! Long may it continue! I also decided to quit caffeine completely last week. And have had a new lease of life. I am no longer a slave to caffeine! I feel free now! I also stopped drinking tap water round about the same time in March. I now drink still bottled water, plenty herbal teas that I blend myself and recently discovered the wonders of chicory - which is very much like coffee!
One of my cats, Jethro, was diagnosed with Kidney Disease in early February, I really thought he was a goner because he was very ill. He started a special Renal diet and is doing okay as I type. He has lost a lot of weight but still acting normal. This caused me a lot of stress and was very down for a long time.
I haven't really been doing a lot of walking but trying to get out more. Sadly, due to this, I have piled on the weight. I am now trying to shift it and get fitter in general. I still have lots of photos to post and also started painting my nails again so will be posting on my nail polish blogs too!
