K - so went to a nature reserve today… didn't see too many wild animals - BUT DID SEE 2 ARMADILLO's which were fab… had to beat a hasty retreat as the little fella didn't like the webs (wasn't too keen on them myself actually) and he isn't a bug boy at all.

Love to take photos of bugs tho… so - hope this isn't too tedious for y'all - just love butterflies and flowers….

This is where we were…

Sure would be hard to find a pair of suspenders (braces?) for that python, all right.

Sounds like you're having fun, and I'm glad to see it.

Yes. If I'm going to keep posting at this time of night, I should move to Australia, huh?

@Izzie,
Beautiful! Well, all the pictures are great, but I particularly liked this one -

Liked seeing the armadilli (my word for them). I don't really know anything about them, just like them.

@shewolfnm,
oh hun - yep - left yesterday - have no mobile signal here in Devon (boonies) but have got yahoo talk set up on the computer. When I find the microphone (HA - that could be anywhere - I will call you (hopefully tomorrow) - tho it may sound a bit bitty - but only costs 1c/min - RESULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so good to hear you voice (even on the answerphone) - can't wait to talk to you in person. xox x
