I'm glad for that. :)<br /><br />• Thanks, Scarlethue. I hear what you're saying about the curiosity. That's pretty normal. I just think once we're putting ourselves out here publicly, we're going to get visitors of all kinds. We just can't expect them to feel the same about being public. Thanks so much for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Welcome, Ana-Maria and thank you. Much appreciated. :)<br /><br />• Thanks very much, Shrinky. I always enjoy having you accompany me on my walks. Those Tiger Lilies are in full bloom right now and I took a few shots of them today. I'll get them onto the blog before too, too long. Thanks for the always-kind words. :)<br /><br />• Thanks very much, Louise. I'm glad you like the photos. I thought there was a transparency to the moth too. Thanks for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Thanks very much for the kind words and the good wishes, Baggie. I'd like the mosquitoes and stinging insects to stay on the outside too, please! :)<br /><br />• Thank you, WIAW. I know what you mean about summer. It's far too fleeting. And that winter season.. it long outstays its welcome. Still, I wouldn't trade the changes we enjoy.. not for too long, anyway. Thanks for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Sandy, it's a deal! Thanks so much for the kind words. :)<br /><br />• Thanks very kindly, Bogey. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. I've got the better camera.. now I just need the lessons. Thanks for the visit. :)<br /><br />• Thank you, Dianne. That means a lot to me. :)<br /><br />• Thanks very much, Rajesh. I'm glad you like the photos. Much appreciated. :)<br /><br />• Welcome, Skunkfeathers and thanks so much for the kind and thoughtful comment. I'm glad you clicked your way over from Frank's blog while it still exists. Who knows what will happen when he clicks that "Update Blog" button. ;) Thanks so much for the visit. :)<br /><br />• Thanks, Shammie. I can't believe that your sweetie is already 6 weeks old. How time flies when you're having fun being a Grammy Shammie. :) Thanks for your always-kind words. I'm looking forward to seeing your renovation post. :)<br /><br />• Thank you so much for your kind words, Sandi. I'm so glad you're enjoying the photos. Your warm comments mean a lot to me. Thanks for the visit. :)<br /><br />• Thank you, Tink. That seems to be the shot that's popular this time around. Much appreciated. :)<br /><br />• Thanks very much, Cheffie. I'm doing my best to enJOY it all. :)<br /><br />• Thank you kindly, Sandra. Much appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Thanks, Sandy. Or are you seeing the moth's wings through the mesh... ? ;)<br /><br />• Welcome, Anne! I've heard a lot of nice things about you over the years. Thanks for clicking over to my blog from Frank's, and for your very kind words. I hope you'll return soon.:)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-91928909728459314392009-07-09T18:13:53.580-04:002009-07-09T18:13:53.580-04:00These are lovely - so peaceful.

And all we really need to do is walk. The finish line is still there.<br /><br />I'll make an occasional drop by, and unlike Frank's blog, I'm sure yours will be ever evolving ;) Like Frank's, not mine LOL...Skunkfeathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563552997319253167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-69622853940038240312009-07-09T02:45:46.786-04:002009-07-09T02:45:46.786-04:00Beautiful shots.

I've just never encountered it before having so few. I don't mind the quiet folks if I can at least visit their blog every now and then, but some of the new ones don't have a profile or blog or anything. I think part of it is curiosity about how they found me too, and why they're interested in my blog.scarlethuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261263598183741538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-32960607762203064352009-07-08T12:28:31.378-04:002009-07-08T12:28:31.378-04:00This has nothing to do with your post, but I have ...This has nothing to do with your post, but I have to say your sense of humour slays me!
