Still struggling to keep up. N is off to the UK tomorrow for a week so I intend spending time catching up with other jobs while he is away. If I have time to blog I will, but if I go AWOL do not be surprised 😉

Lovely macros Diane. The frog in the plant pot made me smile ☺ Gorgeous sunsets. Sometimes it's nice to have time to ourselves, enjoy ✨
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace, I am sure that taod was actaully smiling at me 😉 Sadly it did not turn into a handsome prince. Take care and have a good weekend Diane
DeleteThe toad pictures are so up close. They're wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky to see it. I was moving a few pots and this one had a big fig leaf that had fallen on top of the toad. If I had not removed the leaf it would have remained hidden! Enjoy the weekend Diane
DeleteThe flowers are beautiful, all photos are brilliant. Thank you Diane and have a wonderful weekend coming up.
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise, hope you also have a good weekend Diane
DeleteBeautiful sunset. That is a huge bee! Have fun while the cats away.
ReplyDeleteI really like the carpenter bees, freindly chaps and they go about their work happily. I will have a good week I am sure. Take care t'other Diane
DeletePretty flowers and stunning sunset! The sight of the frog will make me abandon my gardening. Lol!
ReplyDeleteThose cheery yellow daffodils bring such a feeling of joy and happiness.
ReplyDeleteYou need to have a coffee table book printed with some of your critter pic in it. Love them all. Thanks for the weight loss comment on my blog...I look back on some pics and I can’t believe that I was that big. I started out at 210. So to be 145 is amazing...but in my mind, I still think I am fat. Crazy how you see yourself sometimes.
ReplyDeleteStunning sunset!!
ReplyDeleteLoving the toad shots and that sunset looks incredible!
ReplyDeleteNice to see you still have some flowers. Enjoy the time alone.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed your week to yourself Diane, N must be home now oui? Take care ✨
ReplyDeleteGorgeous beautiful photos, Diane! Cosmos is my favorite flower in the garden, always so colorful and dainty looking. And those bees are happy for sure!
ReplyDeleteOh gee the gift of time to get organised is a blessing.
ReplyDeleteLovely.
