    Ania beat everyone to the punch [pm'ed me her correct response right after her post]. I made it too easy. After I posted I noticed a trap was still visible beneath my fingers.

    Perhaps this winter, I'll post something more challenging -- like a stepping stone I made containing garden flower impressions ... might even serve as a contest topic if we get desperate.

    Wow! I didn't know that fly traps bloomed (probably because I've never had one live long enough) or that the blooms would be so pretty!
    Good picture

    LOL, I love that movie too! But I'll never be able to see it quite the same again...

    A good friend down on Cape Cod told me of a gay bar down there that holds a "Sound of Music" night each year. Everyone comes dressed as their favorite character and has to sing 'their' song. She said the runaway favorite among the guys was Mother Superior singing, "Climb Every Mountain." I think this one rightly needs to be witnessed to be truly appreciated...

    It's too hard to pick a favorite song, they're all so wonderful, but "I Must have Done Something Good" is the one that popped into my head first.
