    Hello Rosalie.  You take the most wonderous close-ups.  So fascinating to see the fauna and flora details.  And the identification of the particular fauna and flora is interesting and educational.  Thanks for submitting the photos (and thanks to WSB for selecting to publish and share).

      You are very welcome and I’m so glad to know that you enjoy the photos.

    If I could, I would absolutely nap in flowers.

    So adorable.  One of the few times I don’t get upset about plant damage is when it’s due to leafcutter bees.  Munch away, munchkins!

      I agree, wholeheartedly. I will never be able to look at another one of my leafcutter bees without thinking of them as my garden munchkins! 

Sorry, comment time is over.
