Gorgeous Betty! Thanks for sharing the love up-close with I Heart Macro:-)

Please consider yourself officially invited to participate this year's 5th Annual Gratitude (word) Quilt.

Hi Betty Having seen the Parrot's beak, I can understand why the plant has the same name!

How beautiful and how interesting about the bird. (As you probably know that word has a different meaning in Spanglish). I certainly like your meaning better!!!
