You know that I do get a kick out of that sort of thing as you do.. we've had a number of those moments over the years. :) I'm glad you liked that quote. It's been in open view at my house up until this past winter. Never noticed it, eh? ;) <br /><br />• KC, I don't know about a book, but I do appreciate the thought. I haven't given much thought to selling my work, but if you really love that photo, I might look into putting it up on Redbubble to see what size it can be printed at. I'll probably play with that tomorrow and let you know. No obligation of course. :)<br /><br />• Zuzana, thank you, my friend. I've always liked long hair too.. and I especially love his.. except in the shower drain. ;) Thanks for the visit, Z. :)<br /><br />• Betty, you're too kind.. really. I do appreciate your kind words. You take wonderfully, colourful photos which impress me greatly. So you keep on snapping shots and so will I. Thanks always for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Thanks kindly, Karen. Very much appreciated. I'm pretty sure you probably clicked on the "Email followup comments to" box and that's why your comment arrived by mail. I find it a handy feature when I'm reading blogs and want to see other comments on the topic, or the blogger's reply to mine. I'm sure you'll sort it out.. or learn to love it. ;)<br /><br />• Stacey Dawn, I'm so glad that this post could evoke your smile. That in turn has made me do likewise. Thanks for that. :)<br /><br />• Cloudia, you make me blush.. do go on. ;) Thanks very much for such a kind compliment. :)<br /><br />• Thanks, NJ. It sure has. I'm loving it! :)<br /><br />• Ethelmae, you're so sweet. Thank you for such kind comments. I'll be happy to include the post you mentioned in next week's POTW as your recommendation. Thanks for participating. :)<br /><br />• Thanks, Steviewren. It's been a marvelous spring. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. Thanks for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Dianne, thanks for your always sweet words. It always pleases me to know that you enjoy my posts. Now, I told Alex what you said and with tongue firmly planted in cheek, his response was "I didn't know there were cougars in New Jersey." ;) I love my son! :)<br /><br />• Wendy, we were on the same wavelength with the lilies for sure. My son is getting such a kick out of all the women commenting on him. Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm so pleased that you found some comfort by stopping by. My best thoughts to you and your David. :)<br /><br />• Thanks very much, Joanna. I quite like my handsome son too. ;) Thanks for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Thank you, Steve. They were delicious! :)<br /><br />• Karen, I'm glad you got that straightened out. :)<br /><br />• Baggie, thank you so much, my friend. I really appreciate it. :)<br /><br />• VM, I feel very lucky indeed to be surrounded with parks and ponds and nature. I'll bet that if you were to find and reread a copy of The Owl and the Pussycat, it would all come back to you in no time. Thanks so much for the kind words. :)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-17962449518764531402010-06-11T00:32:23.072-04:002010-06-11T00:32:23.072-04:00• Pauline, thanks kindly a book isn't in the p...• Pauline, thanks kindly a book isn't in the plan.. but you never know. Thanks for the vote of support though. :)<br /><br />• Brian, if you ever find yourself out this way, we'll be sure to have another lobster feast. So get cracking ;) Thanks always for the kind words. :)<br /><br />• Friko, thanks so much for your warm words. My younger son is the big, long-haired sweetie on the left. The little guy is my neighbour's son. :)<br /><br />• Bonnie, do pick your jaw up off the floor and gnaw on a lobster claw while you're at it. Thank you, kindly. :)<br /><br />• Maggie May, your hair will be full and beautiful again before you know it. Alex says that one day, when he's ready to cut his hair, he'll be donating it to Locks of Love. Thanks for your kind words, my friend.. big hugs to you. :)<br /><br />• Thanks, MPM. I've always love that poem of which those were the opening lines. I did a cross stitch for my son when I was pregnant which had the full poem on it. It hung on his wall until not too long ago.. Thanks for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Elisabeth, welcome, and thanks for the kind words. You're so right about how stories emerge. I hope you'll be back soon. :)<br /><br />• Tabor, yes. Our springs are very summer-like this year. One hundred flowers? Wow. I suppose they'll keep blooming as long as it's warm and wet enough for them. Let's hope. I'm laughing at your comment about my sons, knowing that I had very little to do with that.. except genetically. They are indeed opposites in many ways. It keeps life interesting. :)<br /><br />• Paul, thank you so kindly. I'm glad you like both the quote and the image. :)<br /><br />• Thank you, Leah. It's such a treat to see these bits of nature each day. That's a huge part of why I enjoy your own blog so much. I'm glad you enjoyed. :)<br /><br />• Cricket, you're right. That does tend to happen to me a lot with my photos. What does that say about me? I'm totally unobservant while taking a photo .. but lucky - unlike the lobster fearful of lemon and butter. I loved that quote. Thank you for that. :) <br /><br />• Thanks so much, Jen. I'm so glad you like the post enough to want to keep reading and following. I'm glad the French cheered you. I'll have to remember to parler un peux each time I visit you. Thanks for your kind words. :)<br /><br />• TSannie, what a sweet thing to say. Thank you for that. :)<br /><br />• Ellen, thank you. He has me flashing back to mine every so often too. Fun, eh? :)<br /><br />• Snappy Di, I'm glad that the canoes brought back a fond memory for you. Thanks for the visit. :)<br /><br />• Daryl, you're hungry.. go eat a poppy seed bagel. ;) And funny how nature can imitate fashion that way, eh? ;)<br /><br />• Thanks, SueAnn. I'm always happy to have you along on my journeys, as you say. Such good company and such kind comments. My son has been beaming each time I tell him what folks are saying about him. Thanks for that. :)<br /><br />• Thank you, Melis. Your very kind words mean a lot to me. I'm so glad you enjoyed the post. :)<br /><br />• Lori, so good to see you back in the blog world. I've missed your wonderful posts. I hope you and yours are doing ok. I'm so happy to see you. Thanks for the kind words. I hope you'll be back again real soon. Hugs to you and your Littles. :)<br /><br />• Thank you, Pearl. Funny that you dated someone who looks like Alex. I think it would be odd to see that kind of resemblance. Thanks for stopping by. :)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.com
