Today In The Garden....................
Hi all, it's been some time since my last post, for my faithful point-and- shoot is no more. :-( It'll take some time to have a new toy. I'm doing a bit of wildlife gardening till then. Here are some critters that I captured in the garden today with a cam a friend of mine lent me. I've mot identified some of them, and let you know if I do. I'll be grateful if you could help me there too.

Beautiful creatures. I love the butterfly with the white wings and these little marks, it looks huge!
ReplyDeleteHi dreamfalcon, Thanks,that butterfly was not small at all,though "huge" is not the term I'd use for its size. :-)
