  We think of you every time we see another animal!
  
Aunt Betty and Uncle Terry July 18, 2016 at 2:15 pm

Terry remembers asking you how many animals you saw. That is quite a menagerie. This is the first time I saw this page.

  And we’ve seen quite a few more whose photos didn’t turn out well, along with an assortment of unfortunates that were roadkill. Animals galore!

I just now looked at all the animals, creatures and insect pictures. What a nice collection of pictures!

Aunt Shirley August 18, 2016 at 3:21 pm

My, how beautiful ! And you have so many close-ups, how great!
Thanks for sharing all the snapshots!

  The macro feature is one of the best things about our little point-and-shoot Canon. Especially with the bugs, the camera sees the subject better than our eyes do!

Christi and Hector,
Wow — I haven’t visited this page in quite a while. The photos are amazing. I so appreciate that every living creature (snails, slugs, bugs, birds etc) are included in your photos. It is always so exciting to see the many unique creatures in their homes as we simply pass by. Thanks for sharing!!!

  Sometimes the smaller critters are the more fascinating ones.
  
Maxine Ferris March 23, 2017 at 6:40 pm

Wow! I’m glad I took another look, so many more pictures and s-o-o-o-o fantastic. The bunnies might be my favorite, but they are all special and unique.

1. Christi Post authorMarch 24, 2017 at 10:24 am
  
  I still think some of my favorites are the insects, slugs and snails. They seemed to rather enjoy posing for photographs.
  
Idalia M Sherman April 25, 2017 at 4:43 pm

Great pictures Christi and Héctor!
¡Saludos afectuosos! Ahora mi hijo y su esposa los han copiado pero explorando Sudamerica.
¡Feliz camino!
