The pictures of the pink and white kievits flower are really amazing. The nile duck could shoot you beautifully. Here with me the nile goose cracked a falconer box (photos are on my blog). Kuifers are pretty sharp and the summer is fantastic. I have never seen a summer speech before.<br />I thoroughly enjoyed your blog.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />HelmaHelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669041021568049241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-78220576278422488312017-04-28T11:30:50.839+01:002017-04-28T11:30:50.839+01:00Thank you for your kind comment, Eileen.
