I have the catkins, though, they were happy to pose. :)billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-49776782400114331822007-05-27T10:11:00.000-05:002007-05-27T10:11:00.000-05:00My favourite thing is when the bees fly in the win...My favourite thing is when the bees fly in the window to buzz around the painted flowery-shapes, and yesterday a big nest (cocoon ?) of the most beautiful golden spiders were all over the sort-of red poppies on the outside, like a cloud, I wish the pictures had turned out better. Each one was the size of a poppy seed, and they glowed in the late afternoon light slanting across the shed.sharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058381468146433964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-8062408040329497452007-05-25T07:47:00.000-05:002007-05-25T07:47:00.000-05:00The toad prince is being very camera-shy, and as M...The toad prince is being very camera-shy, and as Matthew told me the flash might injure his eyes, I'm having to wait for him to come out during the day rather than evening.<BR/><BR/>He sometimes appears when I go out to do water buckets in stalls, at mid-day when the horses come in. <BR/><BR/>I've been keeping the camera out there but no luck yet!<BR/><BR/>I have an idea that your shed/gallery is a favorite stop for any number of little creatures wanting to enjoy some art. :)billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-29772080480705413212007-05-24T22:10:00.000-05:002007-05-24T22:10:00.000-05:00Oh, the toad prince!

I've got a resident mole and squirrel (I've never seen the mole, just his hills, but the squirrel comes to eat sunflower seeds often) and I hear frogs singing but a toad prince doesn't come along just every day.sharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058381468146433964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-18706003082551914622007-05-23T14:55:00.000-05:002007-05-23T14:55:00.000-05:00:-):-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
