The work is hard, but I enjoy it so much. I take my time and get a lot of satisfaction from fitting the shapes together in a pattern that flows. The best part is that I don't have to please anyone but myself.<br /><br />Chris - from small to large, eh? I had already started the blog entry with the caterpillars and the path, but then that eagle came along! How could I not include it? Glad you liked it!<br /><br />thanks for visiting and commenting.<br /><br />cheers,<br />WilmaWilmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717012784233946753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252308131554892866.post-71371546993316242972011-09-06T15:13:41.271-06:002011-09-06T15:13:41.271-06:00Gloups, I was happy and surprised by these nice ca...Gloups, I was happy and surprised by these nice caterpillars, but when I saw the blad eagle that stayed in your garden enough for you to take 93 pictures, I was stunned.

I checked the links you sent; fascinating, not to mention potentially quite useful! We are already engaged somewhat in the virtual community. It will be an essential element for me. We will have to get satellite internet. Thanks again for the links.<br /><br />Derek - thank you. :-) its a cute little caterpillar, for sure. The first photo of the garden path looks out over property belonging to our 2 neighbors and then across the road to a farm with a wooded ridge above it. It is perhaps my favorite view, changing throughout the year. I'm still psyched about the eagle.<br /><br />Roy - "crazy paving" is a good name for it, although "lazy paving" is why I am doing it. ;-) It was a real thrill to see it so close.<br /><br />thanks to all for visiting and commenting.<br /><br />cheers,<br />WilmaWilmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717012784233946753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252308131554892866.post-33347959962362375902011-09-05T15:54:14.597-06:002011-09-05T15:54:14.597-06:00Thats a really good bit of path laying there Wilma...Thats a really good bit of path laying there Wilma, I think we would call that style "Crazy Paving". That is a real name, (not an assessment of your work).

JW has a partial live feed web cam too.<br />If nothing else, you may find the different approach to a similar goal interesting... good luck in Belize.<br /><br />http://thefieldlab.blogspot.com/<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/10/garden/10texas.html?pagewanted=allremmijhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985809654574916217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252308131554892866.post-6921443090512788872011-09-05T08:58:03.212-06:002011-09-05T08:58:03.212-06:00That is one hell of a garden bird, Wilma.That is one hell of a garden bird, Wilma.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252308131554892866.post-34682411535450252452011-09-05T01:50:34.706-06:002011-09-05T01:50:34.706-06:00A Bald Eagle in your garden I'm sure it made y...A Bald Eagle in your garden I'm sure it made your day.
