  1. Lovely flowers (and I so admire your knowledge about their names (and biological names as well). I love the birds ( ou already know that about me~).

    And you are getting a new computer! Always fun, always a bit frustrating too -- every time it is a little bit different!

    Still traveling -- will catch up on what I've missed someday!!!

  20. Dearest Miyako,
    My Dad used to grow a lot of Salvias in the summer; always looking bright and happy.
    Lovely flowers and birds you captured. Good luck with your new PC. I used my laptop during our vacation of 7 days in Arizona and it is always hard to get used to newer system.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  24. Hello Miyako! I didn't know there was a red salvia as the one I grow is purple, but it is very pretty also.

    Your birds look like our doves, house sparrows and cormorants. I like to look at birds from different places on the planet for the similarities and differences...

    Exciting on the new computer. I think I need a new laptop as this one is getting old and slow.. well like I am too. LOL.. Thank you for linking into Nature Notes... Michelle
