Hi Jacque and Eggbox... Thank you ~ it was fun making and should be even more fun seeing and taking pictures of the wildlife :-)

Thanks Philip ;-)

I've seen some in the wood... but how do I plant, which soil ? probley just put in normal compost and hope it works ! or can you get wild nettle seed ?

Great workwomanship :-)

This is a great blog and as inspired me to get some nettles and so my 1st caterpillars and Butterflies ;-)

Keep up the good work Jacque ~ superb !

Hi Jacque ~ I've seen the wildlife blog... they are great photos and great idea to do a blog... I will be reading as you add to it ;-)

Hi Chrispook ~ thank you for the advice... would the bullrush grow too much as the pond is small ?

Yes they are starting to arrive... I will make the pebble beach soon and buy plants next for the wildlife ~ frogs and dragonflies ?

Hi Jacque... Lovely photo in the Spring sunlight ;-)

Top photo... I'm still trying to get one to sit still for long enough ;-)

Lovely photo :-)

Hi Dioon

Hi Muddywellies...

At this time of year it is nice to see bold colourful flowers ;-)

Thank you Lil ~ I hope to upload a few more flower/garden photos ;-)

Hi Majeekahead

They seem to do great in our soil ~ and if you have buds on yours after a year... yours will do as very well too :-)

Post the photos of the Rhododenrons in full flower on Grows on You ~ for all the members to enjoy ;-)

Simon :-)

Thank Grenville ~ its lovely to see colour this early;-)

Thank you Michelle ~ that will encourage me to take more photos...

Simon :-)

Thank you ~ they grow and look good in my garden :-)

Lovely Macro closeup shot ! Great combination of White Yellow and Orange... :-)

Beautiful shot ~ lovely colours :-)

Hi Jacque ~ I think its either a Blue Tit or Great Tit... it looks like the buds on the tree or bush are ready to bloom soon ? ;-)

Hi Jacque ~ This looks great... I like how it follows the curves in the boarder and it reminds me of Stonehenge :-)

No ~ Daisies are not weeds to me, they are a lovely wild flowers :-)

A super display of flowers ~ beautiful colours :-)

Nice ! These are getting very close to the action ;-)

Great photo Jacque ~ Brrr that's cold ;-) you are really getting good with your new camera ~ I can not wait until you go pro and get a DSLR Camera ;-) You would be brilliant and have your own Photographic exhibitions :-)

They say the only difference between a Pro and Amateur is that the Pro gets paid ! ;-)
