No, no, noooooooooo! You will not believe what I just did....I lost my entire, long post to you!!!
It's my fault; I was checking a video I posted for you Carolyn and clicked right out of my finished post.

I can't redo tonight but the silver lining is, I have most of my notes in word.

I'll post tomorrow.........all that work gone, I'm feeling

Have A Good Night Everyone.

Before I go, I must tell Karen, I am thinking of your Aunt and praying she is improved today.

Hello everyone! I love all the beautiful pictures, plants and animals. Christian, isn't nature grand? What gorgeous colours lovelier than we could dream of! Karen, so sorry to hear of your aunt.....hope things go well for her. Bev, happy belated birthday! Annie I know how those days are! I find that I am having them more often all the time. I think it is because we are so busy we are trying to do too much and always balancing a number of tasks......we are only human remember! Be kind to yourself and don't put yourself last because you are important too!

This was taken a couple of years ago......a tree peony. It has buds now but I will have to wait a while yet before it looks like this again. The flowers are actually the size of dinner plates.

Oh no Annie!

Memorandum to self.......post long post then post video later........now if we all could do that since I have clicked out of my finished, not saved in word posts, life would be better! Hmm.....what video did you have for me?

Jean, that plant is gorgeous - really the size of dinner plates? You must love it. My butterfly bush is blooming up a storm with its beautiful white flowers. Last year in the drought hardly any and now it is unreal and I promise to take a picture tomorrow and of maybe other garden flowers since so much looks pretty. We have a double hibiscus which did not bloom last year but now is just gorgeous. Now....I need to make sure we continue to get rain and all will be well.

So Annie, we will wait with baited breath for your long wonderful post. White Rock has been spectacular to view. How is our chipmunk faring? Torn up or still there? I love the expressions on Echo and Foxy of love to their parents especially as they scoot under. They have such eagle-sonality!

Good Night friends.......Karen, I adored your collage and hope your aunt can get to go home and you get things sorted out for her safety.

Hi to all y'all - let me see if I can get all y'all......Annie, me, Karen, Jo, Gabi, Arlene (how's Bibbo?), Lana, Carole, Sara, Christian, Jean, Gillian, Claire M and missing Jas and occasional Bev and anyone viewing without revealing their identify (you are wonderful too).....:

Hello all

I am still insanely busy and will not comment on all the posts except to all for your good wishes for my aunt. She will be 88 next month and she is deteriorating fast. It is not anticipated that she will be able to go home but you never know. Today is going to be awful!

I will leave you with my sighting half an hour ago just in case you do not follow the goings on, on the Finland osprey nest which has been under nestoration for the past couple of weeks with no sighting of birds.

18:00 EEST (Finland time) today




Hope you all have a great day!

Karen, those pictures made my day! I do follow that nest so it is wonderful to see the birds there.
Yippee! If y'all have not checked it out - it is Finland I and has some incredible views.

I am sorry about your Aunt Karen and send you strength for all you need to do to help her.

We'll see if this works

No?

Carolyn!

Just hot off the press! Times on top of s'caps




Beautiful picture Lana

Now I really must go!

Found it - figured it out!
Thanks Christian for use of the photo.
Carolyn - hope Bleu is up and flying in the skies soon - sort of like the whales - such magnificant creatures.
I have 2 shows this weekend - one in the New Westminster Quay and another in Elgin Hall in south Surrey. Still getting my paintings ready - loved looking back on everyone's posts - now to go and peek in on our eagles. Lana
