  3. Very pretty, Jacob. I don't think we have them up in New England, either. The flowers look a bit like pink lilacs, I think, but they are growing on a tree instead of a multi-stem bush.

  8. Hello----Alpacas are raised for their fiber. It is used to make sweaters, hats, jackets or whatever you would like. It is very soft and strong and very expensive. MB

  10. We don't have these around here and it is too bad because they are beautiful! I wonder if they are very fragrant. I would guess that they are.

  11. Wonderful!

    Rehgarding your question: No, it's not me in a 'frog suit', I just took the shots and they didn't even noticed me. Besides I only shoot with a camera even when it's underwater. :-)
