Some neat pictures from my friend, Penny

16 years ago

She takes really nice pictures, I think! She added her name to them. I think she must either be a professional photographer or that Nikon camera of hers does a super job!

Wow are they beautiful! Your friend has an awesome talent for taking pictures!

I can not wait until I can see that myself up close. I am waiting, and waiting for the Monarchs...

Thanks, Aggie, I'll tell her you liked her pictures. :) Actually, she asked what butterfly forum I go on, so maybe she'll join us someday. She's on a birding forum that I like to go on. I wish I had a good camera (mine is broken) and a talent like hers to get really good pictures of the butterflies this year. Like you, I'm waiting for the Monarchs. I just finally got my zinnias planted last weekend or early this week (I forget exactly which day), and they are going to have a real smorgasboard when those and my other flowers are blooming. All I really have blooming right now are coneflowers, orange cosmos, and violas and a verbena plant, but pretty soon I will have 3 types of milkweed blooming.

Count me in on the not liking the goreie side of halloween, but I love the pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, scarecrows. I guess you might say that the harvest side of the holidays are what I enjoy more. I never decorated for halloween, either until this forum, and I have bought all kinds of halloween deco this past yr at TS and goodwill.I bought a big ceramic lighted Haunted house at GW right after the holidays last year, and the other day DH cut me out some little tombstones to put in the yard. I have painted them black, but not got the eppitates (SP) on them yet. Just think about all the fun I have missed in years past! Janet

Thanks Debra.I will try that.I have been to a lot of places looking for help all day, since noon and havegot no where.It has me pulzzled as whats the problem.I have never had a memorycard fill up so fast before either.I have always used a 2gb card, but the lady at wal mart put a 8MG in the camera. said they don't carry the 2 or the 4MG no moreshe had put a 8mg in it when I bought it, so figured it be ok.I always bought a new card each year, & each years blooms be together on one. card.Looks like this card will not be used if I cant find out whats wrong.I was leary about getting a Nikon camera anyway,as my thers were cannon and Kodak. never a problem with them. I will go to this site andsee what I find out anyway, Thank you.I had some beauties blooming this morning, but couldn't take pictures. jean

I planted so many flowers this year! I still can't believe I bought so many! It started out with the Butterfly bush two years ago. When I saw how many butterflies came I was amazed! So I started to look them up and that was pretty much it for me! I went for a walk to find Milkweed and found cats on it and I was hooked..
So far I planted or purchased Zinnas(which I love now) Daylilies,Lavender,5 Milkweed plants,Columbine,Blanketflower, Sneezeweed, Tickseed, Daisies, Nasturiums,Plantain, Petunias, Phlox- A couple of Dill and Fennel plants, Purple Coneflowers, and two wildflower baskets, they have different types of whatever in them. I got a lot of my seed from Edith from Florida, she owns the Butterfly farm I believe..
I also bought another Butterfly Bush too and planted it on the side of my house, then I built a garden around it~
Yesterday I went back to see what else they had and I picked up Parsley and more Milkweed.
I was surprised that they had Dutchmans' Pipe there. It had a big write up on it about the Pipevine Swallowtails laying eggs on it. I didn't think we had them in PA?!

I also picked up a ton of Sunflower seeds and they are all growing nicely. So I think I am ready for the butterflies to say the least...I just enjoy them so much that I want them around more. Plus it helps that I love flowers and gardening..

Sorry for the long post~

Me, too, Cathy and MissSherry! Great, great photos!

I haven't taken very many photos this year, but I need to remember (key word) to take the camera outside with me! LOL!
