Well Lorraine, after I once again recovered laughing from your GB entries in my Ranch albums, I thought I'd check & see what you've been up to (photograpically speaking). I am gonna get really deep now - I assume a gadabout is a walkabout in the garden? (talking aussie speak lessons from Peter...)? My next question: didn't know Gypsies have gardens, since they usually don't have a permanent homestead? Yeah, what the heck am I talking about - who cares?!?! - gobsmaker, ripper album! Absolutely stunning macros, and the captions make it cream of the crop (the frosting on the cake). Don't be a stranger! You're quite a find! Viele liebe Gruesse und Kuesse, Marita

Thank you for your kind words. I will continue to view your photos. Unfortunately I will not be posting any new shots due to the fact that a burglar took my cameras. All I have left is a tripod and I can't even use that as a seat. Ouch!! John

Hi Lorraine, you have great shots in this album, thanks for sharing them. As for the swan - when he drifted over and said 'G'day, mate... d'ya know the way to Seedney?' it was a dead giveaway! Have a great week and take care, Mandy (UK)

G'day Mate! I haven't looked at this album yet but I'm working my way up the friends list and am still to reach it. I just called in to say thanks for looking at and commenting on my ;Here We Go Again" album. Your comments put a smile on my face. You have that Aussie sense of humour, which is pretty good for an Aussie. LOL. Catch you later, when you get back from my place. LOL. Hugs Mate! Al

Hi Lorraine, you're lucky to have these wild birds visiting your garden. I enjoyed visiting your garden and this beautiful album. Thanks for sharing it with all of us. Thanks also for visiting my Urban Reflections album and for your very kind words in the guestbook. Wishing you a wonderful Sunday, Yair.

Super album Lorraine and you have a lovely garden, for sure. It's great fun going outside every day to see what's new to photograph, isn't it? When you get a few mins have a looksee at my new Southern Ocean album - you'll know most of the places. http://community.webshots.com/myphotos?action=viewAllPhotos&albumID=550496087&security=MYLRjg Love and hugs, Peter

Hi Lorraine! You have a wonderful garden and it provides you with great photo opportunities too. Enjoyed your lovely shots of all the interesting things you grow as well as the lovely Rosellas and other visiting birds. By the way, #14 is a Gaura commonly known as Butterfly Bush and also comes in shades of Pink, see: http://www.oasisaustralia.com/catalog/prodlabelc_2580.html I have both Pink and White. Thankyou for sharing your beautiful garden and its treasures.. Best wishes.. Gladys, Western Australia.
