The plane sighting was just an amazing piece of history and very special :)<br /><br />I love your desert but yes I would miss our gardens so much. Luckily wildflowers etc., in gardens here probably wouldn't have nests but not easy to run through when on someone else's land :( I make do with our mini wildflower meadow in the garden :) Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-69423114631296988842014-07-09T20:07:57.302+01:002014-07-09T20:07:57.302+01:00I love the old blue plane flying.

Our desert is quite beautiful BUT I have to say that I miss the color splash of the garden elsewhere around the world. Amazing wild flowers, roses, etc etc. While we were in Maine, I wanted to run through the fields of wildflowers but noticed lots of nesting birds. It's so hard knowing all of this because the inner kid wants to run through the flowers. Castles, flowers, ghost cities....beautiful. I love that you love bugs.

Stacks of meadow browns here and the fritillaries are starting to appear- looking good for flutters so far this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
