'If I could talk to the animals....'

great blog OB, wonderfull close-ups,well done you :o))

Ditto Sanbaz...great blog OB...you're my kinda girl with the pints of v & c!! Wonderful photos...Butterflies make you wait for full frontals don't they?!

I do like the hoverfly pics. Inpired me to take the time to photograph the beasts in our school garden.

Brilliant blog as per,OB! But Ant & Deck ???????
Em, Fluff, OB is a guy!!

How many have you had already Fluff? Not still mixing it with Tomorite are you?
Great blog OB, brilliant photos but still waiting for one of that Rhino and I expect a CLOSE up!!!

LMAO!

lol,lily

Thanks SB! The photography thing has just added to the enjoyment of the garden now and I'm loving the close up shot.

Fluff: Yes they do make you wait and a long time at that and all you keep thinking is, they're gonna fly off before they give me a pic! As MP rightly says, I am indeed, a guy! But you're forgiven purely by your love for vodka!! lol!

MP: Okay, I could have put 'Flying Ant & Deck' but it would have been even worse! :0)~

Lily2: It's very difficult to get one of the rhino as they tend to be very shy creatures round these neck of the woods. I nearly had one a few days ago but just as I pressed the button on the camera.......DAMN! He disappeared behind the Hosta. I will keep trying tho, promise!!

Hee hee!

Oh yeah...sorry Oddbillie...must learn to read 'about me'' 1st...told you I was confused!!

It WAs funny tho Fluff, especially since I'd just been LMAO at the "confused" blog you wrote!

just read it mari, good one fluff

amazing pics OB well done again

love your blogs very smusing

keep em coming

x x x

Thanks M. Appreciate your comments. Just working on the path progression one so should post it later!

well hurry up man!! You know we love your blogs & the weather's dire up here, so PLEASE don't keep us waiting!
:~))

Going as quick as I can.

Need to water the plants as well in a bit. Glorious day here today but rain imminent. Probably moving down from up your way MP! :0(

I just did a weather blog! Its eased off a bit, but I WONT need to water anything tonight! And my digging's gonna be reeeal messy!!

Fantastic photos, OB.

What a great blog and brill photos OB, really enjoyed it.

Excuses OB I don't believe there are any Rhino in your gaden, proof please!

I dont believe him either, Lily!

I loved the bird and the hoverfly. You're a gazania fan like me.

Thanks Gee & Clarice. Glad you liked!

GG1: Thanks also to you. Really chuffed with the last hoverfly pic as I thought he would fly off but he stayed! Also think the 'commence landing' one is funny!

Yes, although this gardening lark is all new to me and I am learning much, Gazania is the one that has stood out for me and having thought I'd lost them to our friend the slug, they have come back since I put copper tape around the pot!

Welcome to GoY, by the way!

We're still waiting for proof of the Rhino, OB!

Have you seen the time MP? It's difficult this time of night as I need to get the jeep out but the large floodlight on the front is out of action so I will see what I can do tomorrow for you. You'll be sorry......

Did do a 'slug hunt' earlier tho and rounded up about 12 or so of the little .....'s! There were 2 on the outside roof of the GH and 2 on the inside of the GH roof.....WHY??????

Because you're providing them with yummy food!
I'm still not convinced about the Rhino, but I'm willing to be proved wrong!!! Lol!
;~))

FABULOUS!

Life without all these wee critters would be far less worth the living.

Thank you so much for your keen and enthusiastic eye! Have another voddie and coke on me!

;-)

Don't encourage him, he spends enough time lying on the ground as it is!!
I see you got Ali to release you from your "special jacket" OB!

For a short while. I'm even cooking tea onight! How good am I?!!!!!

Been planting up my newbies so will share them later in a blog maybe!

Thanks Bscott. The enthusiasm has taken over in droves and all 3 subjects blend so well together...Gardening, wildlfie & photography!

I may just have a voddie tonight now, or a pear cider!

OK, look forward to it, as per usual!

Great photos

Send me up a pear cider, Dan!

fantastic blog.

Sorry Marie, only just come back online. Had a lager shandy instead - very warm here today and we cooked a posh meal for Ali's birthday. It was supposed to be on the Friday night before she was diagnosed with the swine flu the following day but as she couldn't smell or taste anything, we postponed it and did it tonight.....very nice too. I did a duck starter, my own recipes and we did the fillet steak main between us although Ali did most of it.

YUMMY!!!!

Forgot to say thaks to Bscott, bornagain and Suey for their kind comments :0)-

Belated birthday wishes, Ali!
Glad to see you're on the mend!!
So where's my pear cider, Dan? A girl could die of thirst!! lol!

postal strikes...out of my hands now. Sent on 'Arrive Day Before Sent' delivery, I'll pick up the expense for that one, but postal strikes...ah well!!

Good one! LMAO!!!

How easy was that? Cool!! :0)~

:~)))))))))) Con artist!!

oh wow - great pictures - how come when i take pictures of butterflys and birds they just fly away (must be the face.. no dont be rude!!)

Thanks Geniusscuffy.

It's not easy and for every good pic, 10 are deleted!! It just takes patience and having camera poised and ready.

Keep at it as it's very rewarding.

Sorry late to this Oddbillie.Great blog and surerb close ups as usual. You will not be wanting to go back to work at all after all this !
