    We finally had some much needed rain and the flowers have perked up. The butterflies, bees and birds have been enjoying the garden.

    It's amazing how well the Oriel blends in with all your flowers - took me a second or two to see him. I'm glad you got the rain you needed and that all the wildlife and plants are thriving on it. :stew1:

    Exquisite fotos, Gail. I love those flutterbys. WE have similiar here, but I have yet to lure one into my garden.
    I really liked this set.
