    The orange slices are such a great idea!! Except oranges have been tasting sooooo good lately that I don't think I could bear to give one up. Maybe the unexpected heat is making me crave oranges?

    Such delightful views made me smile. All very creative. Did you make the wonderful opened hands yourself?
    Hope you have a great Easter weekend, too.

    Hi Sandy, thank you for the nice compliments. The hands were made by me. I'm hoping to find time someday to make a fountain where the water pours from the hands. Someday!!

    I had no idea butterflies liked fruit. What a great shot of this beauty enjoying a sip of juice.

    Hi Cat, It did not take long for someone to discover the orange slices that you put out! Hope you had a nice Easter weekend. Your spring highlights are all lovely. I like the little whimsical touch of the spoon in the plant pot.
