  1. Oh my goodness, these are stunning photos, Cindy! I haven't seen many butterflies around but I keep looking for them. The hand made fence is the best example I have seen and the expression on Donkey's face in that last photo is priceless!

  2. I thoroughly enjoyed all your photos especially the butterflies on the Buddleia. I need to keep my camera handy more often when in my garden, I am seeing lots of butterflies and birds at my feeders. It seems these days my bird feeders are keeping one big ole fat raccoon well fed. He is emptying them quicker than I can get the feeders filled. I may need to go to Plan "B" with one particular feeder. Beautiful photos.

  3. Hi Cindy, it looks like you're having a grand time in the mountains. That sheered llama looks hilarious; kind of like a poodle. :D And those donkeys are certainly interested in your pup. Nice to get into the mountains for some fresh air, isn't it? That's how I feel every time I drive out to my cabin away from the city. But right now in Oxfordshire, I am in the country, (missing the city ever so slightly). Hope you're having a lovely week.
