>>  Some of these have been around ‘ere now.  Lots will be interesting to those who reside in the U.S. but there are others of general interest.  Sent from a friend ~  I had not seen Monet in colour - Mark Twain must have borrowed his idea for heavy shrubbery round the edge of the lawn, when he was in India !  Made me remember !  There were so many birds …. bull bulls and tailor birds among them, that had plenty of nesting space.
