Beautiful pics Lixy!! Isabel is only giving us a lot of rain and minor winds of 50 Kph. We are expecting around 50 mm of rain. Things are going to be worse off north of us as a low pressure is coming in from Manitoba which will hook up with Isabel's low pressure. Stay dry and safe all you wonderful Pixies'!

Thank heavens Isabel did not do too much damage in your area. Said a lot of prayers for ya'
Pictures of Luke were neat. I also love nature pictures (although spiders aren't my first choice). I will say, you almost make them look good.
Love seeing you posting. You're an inspiration to a lot of us ... |

Ya know........I had so many butterflies on this particular bush this particular day.........and I'll be damned if I could reach out and touch a single one. But Izzy....she just flew right to me. It was so weird.....like she was someones pet or something. I always try and reach out a hand to let a butterfly land on me.....it's never happened till Izzy came out of that night!

Lixy, I'm sure your momma was a terrific lady, but I share Sharni's feelings for spiders! *shudder*
The butterfly pics are beautiful. I've heard of butterfly gardens, you must have the plants/flowers they like.
Since Scarecrow asked about a 'sign'...... When my grandfather died his request was no wake, just a simple graveside service. It was a warm spring day. His closed casket was surrounded by flowers. When we arrived for the service there was a lone butterfly flitting from flower to flower, landing briefly on each one. I don't know why she caught my eye but I watched her as the other guests arrived. When the pastor stood up to start speaking she landed on the foot of the casket. She stayed there the whole time, just a tiny little movement of her wings. As the pastor ended his sermon and released Pop into Gods waiting arms, the butterfly flew around the casket twice and then flew straight up into the sky.... I watched her until I couldn't see her anymore. Later on that day I found out my mom & an aunt had watched her as well.
Don't know why but I felt like sharing that with you. Needless to say I kinda like butterflys.

The moment "Izzy" walked onto my hand.....I knew that the pictures HAD to be shared with my Pixie family! I wasn't necessarily "waiting" for a sign.........but I knew when I saw the pics on my photo program, that this was the perfect time to start posting again! Does that make sense?
Oh Teddy Bear! What a beautiful mental pic you've conjured for me! If that wasn't a sign, I don't know what is? TY for sharing that with us! I'll smile all the more each time I see a butterfly now!
