  Thanks for liking them! they are so cute! I saw more of the same genus in a very recent trip to the Alsace region in France, just a few weeks ago. I don't know when I will post those as I am very delayed with my older photos as you can see :-D Posted 3 years ago

      Haha! I still have a lot of work behind goung back to 2008 which is when I started with digital pictures. It is for sure going to be a while before I am up to date! but I am doing it for my collection of Flickr albums so when I am very old and cannot travel anymore at least I can see all the places where I've been and the nature I was able to enjoy :-) Posted 3 years ago, modified 3 years ago
