It's just nice to see more about this year as they were obliterated by the heavy rain last year. The buddlia plant next door attracts hundreds but because we have had a wet summer again this year the numbers have dwindled.

And I know exactly what you mean about cat's ears. <BR/><BR/>My dogs are full of 'war wounds' too. Being greyhounds, and second-hand at that, they have numerous little dings and scrapes (and some not-so-little scars too) of unknown origin. Most of them are probably from puppy play, those sharp little toenails and teeth make little circular scars in greyhound hide. But there are others, like the 'hedge tears' on the Pirate's stomach, which look more sinister. We'll never know how he came by them, but he's beautiful to us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
