End of Srbsko Bug Season 2

Mary, I'm sorry you go through so much pain and travail to upload your photos to Gather. But I must say the efforts are well worth it. These photographs are stunning. You give so much pleasure to us, who view them, those butterflies, amazing, and we find our spirits dancing in delight...

**Thanks**

it'a wonder that you even found them because Gather has flagged them and I haven't even received an alert yet that I published them this afternoon-- it goes this way if you publicly criticise how bad their system is-- you end up getting blocked apparently. but really it's disgusting that every time the bloody flash ad changes, the article in process gets deleted and all the images with it regardless of how many times it's "saved" and in this case I was "saving" and reloading images after enarly every picture upload and "publishing" in order to seave the images uploaded. forget it--

gather cann't even bother to give us a multi-image uploader--

forget niceties like editing preview panes or really being able to save uploaded images.

orange downgrade explains everything-- flatulence in the system.

Mary these are beautuful. I love butterflies. I try to plant flowers that will attract them but you have some that I have never seen. Thank you

"I try to plant flowers that will attract them"

Judy, every corner of the earth has different species-- and so yo are doing the world a huge favor by planting a butterfly garden because butterflies and frogs are both very deeply threatened. If you can make a small pool to attract froggies and plant flowers to attract beautiful bugs, you will certainly have a positive impact on the earth-- far moe than making a scene by throwing water on people wearing fur--

seems a bit childish-- diffrent plant attract different bugs, but thistles and nettles attract butterflies-- and I keep thinking how sad it is that these two valuable crops are overlooked in the US, because thistle makes very fine linens and nettles a whole array of biohealth products from shampoo to tea-- and there are beutiful white and yellow stingless nettles that are edible and more nutricious than spinach.

we stereotype plants as good or bad just as we do people and fail to see its intrinsic value to the environment. camomille attracts the little blues and adonis... dahlias and zinnias attract peacocks and tortoiseshells

maybe search google for butterfly gardens or the National Arboreteum for information. I believe there is a National Butterfly Garden...

Thanks for persevering and posting here!
