1. Holy cow. Is that in your back yard?

It IS pretty but I’d prefer it stay out of my house …

2. Well, our front yard is the lake view. Across the street is a jungle.

We see so much great stuff between the lake view and the jungle.

We live in a rainforest really more than jungle.

I'm loving those transparent wings.

This is a fantastic shot! Thanks for sharing it.

6. They are beautiful...at least some of them. :)

And they are a vital part of the balance. Beautiful photo.
