Ann, that is a great photo!!

I hardly ever see the Swallow Tails here, I had maybe two sitings this year but no decent photos.

Blessed beyond all merit.

Great Spangled Fritillary. Sorry the lighting was not very good and the wind was blowing the lantana around so this is as good as I could get on this late afternoon.

Thanks Margaret!

Nice capture Dave.

I love your butterfly pictures. It is so good grazing through them with my first cup of coffee for the morning.

The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.

Good morning Ann. Just fuelling with coffee before bouncing into the garden this lovely morning..

Me too. Too full as usual. It's ridiculous these days.... my plate looks like what you would serve a 6 yr. old & I'm stuffed to the gills. It's not worth cooking less than that.

I used to eat like a horse! Now I just can't. It doesn't fit. Rarely ever have a snack after dinner. I miss snacking.

I am not really a hog,

I eat a small breakfast, lunch and snack at about 3pm, but come dinner time I am ready for a good sized meal, I try not to snack after dinner.

Snacking? I thought that was just a time-lapsed extension of dinner? ;-)

Well I've seen Margaret & I know she's not a hog. Far from it, she has a nice figure.

Catmint, You sound like my hubs; he eats dinner & it just doesn't stop until he goes to sleep. Constant coming & going from the kitchen all night long. He's not overweight, he's just a bottomless pit at night.

Well, tonight I finished the lasagna DD left on her plate (what else is a mom for?), and then I had a frozen fruit bar!

I'm afraid I have gotten rounder as the years have gone by...
