YUCK...to all but the butterfly. That pic is truly beautiful...I dont like anything that looks yucky or crawls with more than 2 legs...lol. And I cant relate to your struggles on one level because im a mother too, but on another level, you really are Superwoman (just like my pic)...God bless you and your family.
I think somebody likes bugs, but I am not naming any names??? LOL They are beautiful pictures, and the butterfly one should definately be in a magazine - wow, stunning! Happy WW, <>< Kelly
Cool pics!! I love the butterfly one! To answer your ? on my blog... nope not my horse, I wish tho. This was a horse at Fort Mackinac in Michigan. Have a great WW!
eeewwww i dont like bugs at all. But neat pics!! I think I passed the "serious I need help fear" of bugs on down to haylee. She always sees them and always points them out.
great shots! Regarding your question in my comment section (WW) no, we didn't go there. I just saw the sign and told hubby to stop so I could take a picture.

I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It’s like this… When you’re going to have a baby, it’s like planning a fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It’s all very exciting. After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, “Welcome To Holland”. “Holland?!?” you say, “What do you mean “Holland”??? I signed up for Italy! I’m supposed to be in Italy. All my life I’ve dreamed of going to Italy” But there’s been a change in the flight plan. They’ve landed in Holland and there you must stay. The important thing is that they haven’t taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It’s just a different place. So you must go and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met. It’s just a different place. It’s slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you’ve been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around…and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills…Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts. But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy…and they’re all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say “Yes that’s where I was supposed to go. That’s what I had planned”. And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away…because the loss of that dream is a very significant loss. But…if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn’t get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things…about Holland.

How do you get the butterfly to stay still for you? Every time I even think about taking a picture of one they flit away... Sigh...
Nope. They don't bug me at all. A few weeks ago, I posted a photo of a cicada casing for WW. Now that was ugly!
The butterfly is beautiful.
