A lot of pictures today

Good morning all,

Well the first thing I thought I would share with you are a couple of pictures of my holiday in America with Mary. I had  a lovely time and we all managed to do a lot while we were there . I am going to enclose some pictures of some bug, first though a picture I was so lucky to get as I have been wanting a pictures of a hummingbird. Also a robin. [Nothing like ours in the UK] A huge grasshopper. Also a lovely coloured spider. 

I was going to enter some cards into challenges today but I will post again tomorrow with the challenges. Things have come up so will be busy this morning and not have time. 

I have waiting so long to get this picture of the humming bird 

So unlike our robin in the UK

This was so big, I did know they were that big 

Spiders are so pretty

Spiders are so pretty.

                                             So strange to see a cat sleep like this.


Thank you for taking the time to look at my blog and thank you for any comment you leave I love to read them all

my walk

Morning

I went for a walk yesterday and took my camera. I went  to a lovely place near here called Streamside walk. It is longer than I walked yesterday and one day soon I hope to walk the rest of it. These stepping stones are large and I walked over them. The birds were singing and it was lovely






 

Thanks for stopping by
