Oh no! Not have to give up nap! Wouldn't it be better to add some time onto bedtime or rising time??? Better than giving up nap time! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

Think Man, think. Consider this carefully. Naps are a power for good, and we need to save them, whenever and where ever we can! ,-)

Lovely little vases...

The Fungi photo is actually lovely too. {Apologies to Jo for saying the same thing, about both her work and the Fungi} :-) But then Mother Nature does lovely work and we all know that.

The Passion Flower is............. yes, lovely too! What else can I say? :-) OK, I could say delicate and beautiful. And thank you for not mowing it down.

Last of your Joe Pye Weed?!? Say it isn't so!

I love the '2 step dance' poor Jo was doing, with the drying of the wash. Yeah, it's funny to me, but wasn't funny to her. :-)))

So, I take it, that all was well and it worked smoothly...............

{CAMO Moth! I know I already said that, over there. But I couldn't resist saying it again. Hey, I already used up all my 'resistance,' with my comment on your last entry here!!! How much 'resistance' do you think I have?!? -giggles-}

Pot of black beans cooking, hey...

No, I won't even contemplate continuing with my line of thought, here.

Honest, I won't even contemplate doing so.

Honest...

Ouch!

But when I saw that it was to be a photo by Jo, I thought it was going to be of you and a ripped sleeve or something... Where you forgot to duck.

Actually, I'm glad it was a turkey.

My question... What comes along and eats the skins? Something must. It's the way of Nature.

"...strong urge to get a full ID

I like that!!!

The wings are beautiful.

I could do without too much of a close-up of the head though...

Always picky, hu? -smirk-

Re: Polk Berries in the Fog

Mari_Nanci — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 18:06:11 -0000

But even without unlimited time, you got a lovely shot.

I love fog. I love spider webs. [looking at them that is!] And I love soft green and pink.

Lovely... Lovely... Lovely...

Great shot!

Tell me she had to do this a number of times, to get it at such a perfect angle.

No, she didn't?

Only did it once?

OK. OK.

I love the drop of water! And the fuzzy stem.

Yes, I am finding other things to concentrate on, besides the "bug-a-booooo." >,-)

But of course you took an amazing close-up of him. :-)

Re: Tomato Hornworm -- Not!

Mari_Nanci — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 10:37:51 -0000

Thank you for the ahead-of-time Alert. But it didn't make me eat first. :-(

Which is my own fault of course. You can warn me ahead-of-time but it's up to me, to be wise... Eat breakfast first.

And I didn't. -sigh-

Repeat, that's not your fault... lol

What about putting beer, at places, in tomato plant garden? Is that any bug deterrent, or am I thinking of catching slugs?

Re: Toad Frog

Mari_Nanci — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 10:31:24 -0000

So, which is which? Which is the Toad and which is the Frog? One's coloring is more pronounced? One is larger than the other?

We have little ones, at the little pond out back. Usually have lots of them, sunning themselves on the surrounding rocks. But this year, only one.

And I've seen one with an almost iridescent green head. Mmmm, is this usual? Or one of those weirdness-in-frogs-from-pollution-maybe?

Our little frogs or toads usually get non-spooky as summer wears on and will not jump in the pond, when we come out the door. Till then, can't get a photo of them though...
