A Year Of Blogging!

Terra farmer turns one today! A year ago, after being glued to
gardening blogs, I wanted, oh, so wanted, to belong to this won-
derful community of garden bloggers. And on a pleasant evening in
March, this blog was born.



Ever since, it's been a journey of discoveries.....of the most
fascinating people, the most amazing gardens, and a host of
superlatives! My interest in gardening has a renewed zest--and
in the process, I have managed to attract more wildlife in my
small garden than ever before! I've seen so many different species
of butterflies than now. Below are the photos of some of my visitors/
residents.



I've seen the Cabbage White butterfly with its abdomen raised
and I'd found that odd. But reading Randy and Meg's Garden Paradise
a fascinating blog,I found out that the female shows that
she isn't interesred in breeding. Here, her suitors flutter
about her but she stays there, unmoving.



They fly away....



Abdomen still raised, she stays for a split second then flies-
the usual way.



A Bulbul bird on my Indian Blackberry tree. They have a red
patch at the root of the tail. If you click on the photo,
you'll see that bright red.



The Tailor bird. See how well it blends with its surroundings.
It does make a lot of noise and visits regularly.



Another of the pretty blue butterflies with the wings closed.



Quite a regular now...the Peacock Pansy butterfly.



Not a harmless-looking spider, this!



Did someone paint this little spider?! I've never seen it here
but now that it's here, welcome!!

There's much to look forward to.... this year and the coming years!
Thank you for stopping by. I wish you a wonderful weekend.
