Oh my word...........

This is the tiniest baby frog ever.......................

My OH could not believe how quickly you did that! You must have been on the computer at the same time as me. I have another photo of a baby frog sat on OH's hand if I can find it in my browser. Will send if I can because it gives the size so graphically.

Another from Jean:o)....

Here's another picture from Jean....it was taken in her garden.................
Hi Jude, am sending you a photo I took the other day of the fish in our pond. Normally the sun is in the wrong place and this doesnt work, but this is quite a good one. They are Shubunkins and Comets and the large ones are about ten inches long. Jean

Caterpillar of Elephant Hawkmoth.....


Is'nt he beautiful:o)) ??
Aparently a couple in the Forest of Dean breed these. He was always fascinated by them as a child and his grandmother encouraged him. She bought some specific plants that they wouldlay their eggs on and he went from there. Quite a few people wrote to the local papers with photo's, initially wondering what they were.
