Thankyou for that my friend. The wind has been giving the flowers a bit of a battering of late, but there are still a few nice blooms left.

Thankyou Bernz. I can't really take the credit for the beauty of our garden...that is due to Dennis's late wife Margaret. She was a very keen gardener and we are reaping the enjoyment from the many plants that she so lovingly sowed.

Thankyou Leona. You will see by my previous comment who the credit for this beautiful garden is due to.

Thanks, Pauline. I get to enjoy Spring and Summer all year long, thanks to my friends on DPS. Your ladybug is very well photographed.

And a big thankyou from me too Pauline. All great, but I love the razor sharp detail of both the ladybird and the leaf she is resting on. Wonderful. God bless. PAUL
