  1. There is so much to see when you go out for a walk! More importantly your camera is proof you take in the beautiful surroundings.

  3. The hawk moth is amazing. Much like our hummingbird moth. You have such patience with the insects. Sure is a variance in horse sizes. Had to laugh at the thought of donkey braaing at you.

    1. Gaelyn I have never had any patience, just lucky we have a lot of activity generally in the garden and I just keep clicking. One photo has to be OK occasionally :-)
      The bee hawk moth is much the same as our humming bird hawk moths also but so much prettier in its green fluffy attire.

  4. Don't you just love the horses? I think they are so beautiful. Loving that door. I have been posting on FB different ways you can do your doors. Hoping folks would start doing something like that to theirs. I would do mine in a burst of color but I already have mine done with a saying on it.
