Oh butterfly!
Sweet flutterby.

I love taking my time and finding beauty and humour in things before they happen - as in seeds and salamanders.
"The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing — to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from — my country, the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back."

Nice pics and nice to have you back!!!
Gasp! Did you go to the Butterfly place??? Those are so pretty! Your family is gorgeous and so happy looking. I'll wait patiently for more. And that parliament pic is just amazing!
We love Victoria and hope to get there this summer. Buchart Gardens is one of my favorite places on the [lanet.

Great pictures! I almost feel as though I was there. Can't wait to see/hear more about your trip!
I think Jon has really missed you. In my humble opinion:)
Welcome back! Clara
Hello one and all! Yes, it was a great trip. It was soooo good to see my fambily again. I did indeed go to the Butterfly Gardens ... not too many of my photos turned out awesome but they were so beautiful and they were everywhere! I skipped Buchart Gardens this year but that is always breathtaking. What else? I will have to write a proper post at some point. I will be working lots the next week and a half so I'll see if I can squeeze one in. Or two or three. :)
Thanks for making me feel right back at home!
I see you had a blogiday & a holiday!!
Love all the bright smiles and colours of your pictures!
