Our modem decided that it was the time to DIE! No warning. Went from being alive to dead in a split second which I found rather inconsiderate, to say the least! So, I have been off-line until today and I couldn't wait to return to this post as the final one I'm visiting before heading off to bed. I've enjoyed lingering over each image and every line and will take some of them to dreamland to keep me entertained.<br /><br />As always, an absolutely super post! I don't know how you keep doing it...you just get better and better and you were already the best when you started out!

The rest is probably enjoyed too.<br /><br />I keep returning to gaze upon the artistically photographed 'Mock Orange'. The colours, textures, placement, combined with the angle you did the photograph creates dimension. To me its one of those photos when enlarged to hang on a wall would be like viewing a beautifully done painting.<br /><br />Have noticed your Garden offers a variety of Butterflies a place worth visiting. They're colours are beautiful.<br /><br />Found my self looking in a dictionary for the word 'Love'... quite a long entry. My summary... "Passionately Enthusiastic"...<br /><br />No matter which Season, your Love of Nature is radiating all about your Blog and from your Posts... to visit is bathe in the glow of all that you Love...<br /><br />Old-English (verb) lufian (noun) lufu... "to love"<br /><br />So I suppose To Love is To Live. Seems your use of the word is quite apt.<br /><br />Happy Springtime, best wishes to you from Magda(Australia)magda in queensland australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373394295345620883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2351453022302347950.post-58359526392149490912011-04-05T18:09:02.895-04:002011-04-05T18:09:02.895-04:00such activity in the micro-animal world....it must...such activity in the micro-animal world....it must be spring where you are :)Kelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425317942978557478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2351453022302347950.post-78625458535612532062011-04-05T12:50:25.208-04:002011-04-05T12:50:25.208-04:00What a coincidence!

Not as far as I'm concerned (unless one is just saying it -you know what I mean).<br />Love your butterfly and lizard photos. I had a butterfly on the Pear trees this weekend and, like you, I say 2 lizards squaring off. I thought, "Well , it's spring." I love the way they do their push ups, but this turned into a real scuffle. I love how when they do it in the dried leaves, it sounds like a huge monster!
