Love all the flowers coming out - my favs are Roses, honeysuckle and Iris's.. Interestingly your Cicadas are similar but quite different from the ones we have in New Zealand. They are gone for the year

The Lotus flowers really bring the pond alive don't they!! Beautiful :)

Hi there - there used to be quite a few kiwis here in the old steemit days - don't see too many now though. Good to meet you :)

My entry in to the Reflection Hunters Contest - round 18 :)

Omgosh thank you so much!! That made my day :)

Aren't they cool!! Books are awesome!

Fiction can be so much nicer than the internet :)

Hahaha That book will be going straight back! It went straight over my head lol From now on I will stick to fiction.

Thank you - this is my first time posting and am glad to be here! :)

Thanks @redheadpei It has been much easier than any other diet and believe me I've tried a lot of them.. I feel great!!

Teachers can play such an important role in our young minds! The one I remember most was a man who was very kind and played the guitar for us and we sang everyday. He bought some happiness to our classroom.

Wow :D that's awesome!!! When you capture images like that it brings an excitement and such pleasure that I can see why it changed and helped your state of mind. Just beautiful and yes quite magical!!!

What a lovely day it was there and a very picturesque area:)

All the tech stuff is hard for this old brain too - more often than not I put it all in the too hard basket lol :) May I ask what is Hive silver bloggers??

Gorgeous cat!!! It's nice when they just hang out isn't it!!

Happy Birthday for tomorrow Karen - I hope you had and have a fabulous time :)
