ALWAYS A LADY

Ladybugs have always been the one insect I actually like. When they did all of that malathion spraying out here a while back to attack the dreadful little flies that were causing so much havoc, we lost a lot of garden visitors. I had not seen lady bugs in a while so when I see one now I'm like a kid again.

LORIKEETS

I went to the Long Beach Aquarium today. I'm really disappointed with my pics of the fish. Taking them through the glass was a challenge (frown). I've still got to browse through and pic out some good ones but I thought I'd start with the pics of the Lorikeets they had there. They were enclosed in this large aviary you walked into and there was a ton of mist so I'm glad I was wearing my wig (smile). For $2 you could buy...oh, I forget what it was but it was something sweet in a little cup and the birds would come right up on your hand and drink it. They were the prettiest birds!
