In the right light the swallows (males) are actually fairly colorful. Usually they move to fast to see, however.<br /><br />Bill the Butcher, I didn't know that either until I realized what they were up to. Jon-athan Metrebench Seagull has a nice ring to it.<br /><br />Tom. Dandelions are quite tenacious and learning to love them and make use of them seems like a much less frustrating way to deal with them. The bees like them, too.<br /><br />ABFTS, Dandelion stems are pretty tough. If I can figure out how to weave them...<br />Gulls are graceful and cartoonish at the same time.
