Flying Dog & Zika Virus

This piece of driftwood looks like a flying dog to me. (right side looks like head of a dog)  Ha. This piece is about 17 inches tall. Working in the studio, trying to stay warm. We got a light coating of snow and then ice over that which coating all of the tree branches. I'll take a photo to show you tomorrow.


With the recent rapid spread of the Zika Virus I have been researching mosquito repellents and found that Lemon Eucalyptus Oil is an effective mosquito repellent and also helps repel tick bites. The Zika Virus causes microcephaly in infants and possibly Guillain-Barre in some of those infected with virus. But 80 percent of those affected with the virus will have no symptoms. Read about Zika Virus here. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

  1. I see what you mean about how long it will take to consume the drift wood, especially if it keeps flying.

    1. Hi Joanne, thanks, yes it's flying but not quick enough out of the box full.

  2. The driftwood does look like a flying dog!
    With the spread of Zika virus, I guess this is the one time I might be glad that I can't afford to travel to the Caribbean.

    1. Hi Michele, thanks, they are hoping it won't spread here but it has spread so quickly they are sure it will. get some of the lemon eucalyptus oil just in case.
