VALKYRIEN said...: Så nydelig da du! Og så nære du kommer disse dunete små nøstene!

Har ikke sagt noe om svanene dine på forrige innlegg hittil, men de er virkelig litt av et scoop! Nydelig fotografert, morsom tekst - og jeg er så misunnelig! Har ikke fått sett en eneste en av disse nøstene ennå! Hvis kjæresten kommer i helgen, får vi se om jeg orker en tur til vannet ikke så langt unna. Han har bil skjønner du! :)

Ha det godt så lenge min venn!; 25 June 2009 at 00:21

Judy said...: Good to see you again!!
It is a wonder that the adult grebe doesn't sink from all that extra weight on its back!!; 25 June 2009 at 17:47
Zilga said...: Iso pesue silkkiuikulla, mutta tukka putkella vie niitä eteenpäin ja näyttää ylpeältä aikaansaannoksistaan.
Eikö rastas tee pesän puuhun? En ole tavannut ennen laudan päällä, hassua :)
Ihania nämä sinun eläinvauvakuvat; 25 June 2009 at 21:05

George said...: The picture of the baby song thrushes in the nest is adorable, but I really like the picture of the grebes catching a ride on father's back! Wonderful captures.; 26 June 2009 at 07:02

irma said...: Hienoja luontokuvia sinulla. Mutta pienen oikaisun tekisin, lintupesue on tukkakoskelon, ei silkkiuikun.; 2 July 2009 at 22:08

Awards

Sain tämän arvonannon, joka tarkoittaa 'blogisi on timantti' blogista Nousee päivä, laskee päivä
Kaunis kiitos!

I got this award from Today's Blah. A very beautiful gesture. Much appreciated. Thank you!

Sain upealta taiteilijalta Zilgalta tämän tunnustuksen. Olen otettu.

Thankyou Pacey

Valkyrien of Norway made me a hot blogger by this award

Thankyou dear friend. I must take care not to burn my fingers while writing :)

Oh please do not think I gave myself an award, even if I did start this one. There is a limit to my vanity. No, it was dear Pacey from Today's Blah that wanted to give this same award back to me as what I gave to her. So I made it as well as received it.
At leats that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I got this nostalgic award from Zilga

Thank you dear blog friend
