Bobbie writes,
"Looking at the ice crusted snow that now blankets our garden, I think
back to this swallowtail's summertime visit to our Echinacea blossoms.
Goldfinches now nibble at the tall seed heads left behind in the snow.
I look forward to this visitor's return next summer!" |

Ciera writes, "I
enjoy that my photos are very detailed and show the little things in
life like the flower and the frog (NOTE: Ciera also sent us
close ups of the waterlilies and a frog peaking out of the lilies)
or even the simple thing like a waterfall and how peaceful they are." |

"This picture has special signifigance for me as my father passed
away in Dec of 2007 and if you look at the picture closely, you can
see what could be taken as "someone" walking with and waiting for
this inch worm on his journey to the other side (in the center of
the morning glory....) so it give me great peace...." |

in this Porterweed plant in my garden. The Porterweed plants
are a favorite nectar source to the many hummers that visit during
the months of March until October. I enjoy watching as they
hover at each tiny bloom collecting the sweetness within." |
