Nicole, I am loving your glads and hummers pics. I have not seen the Ruby Throats here go to the glads. Pictures are all great. Love the horse with the attitude and the very blond kiddies. Bob, nice capture of the Fritillery butterfly. Here is what it's underwings look like. Notice the smiley face in it's eye.

At the "Fiber Farm" on Block Island where they had the too-cute alpacas, they have machines that make various fibers into yarn, they also have a few items made from their fiber, including a jellyfish. and octopus and an alpaca

Plumeria. The photography leaves a lot to be desired, but I love the colors of this one. Rusty

I have a folder full of totem pole photos on my computer, but have been looking all morning and can't find them, so these will have to do instead. Tree stump carvings seen at a temple in Vientiane, Laos. They are amazingly elaborate and detailed carvings of animals, people, mythical characters, trees and buildings.
