Hi Paula I have received your email and have done what you have just have nitsructed. I'm just quite confused if I did the right thing in my column J. Honestly, I really don't have any idea where to find my own URL's HTML code. So what I did I just copied others code and edited their site and blog's title in exchange to mine. Please tell me If I just did the right thing or was it a funny mistake, since I'm really blind on how to do this HTML stuff. Thanks a LOT!!!Christian =)

Amazing colours and shot!! Great gallery.

This beetles are beautiful abstract paintings. The colors are so vivid and striking. It would be insulting to call this work of art a bug. It seems like a higher form of life painted by a the master of all artists, NATURE!!

I've only ever been lucky enough to see one of these and he was resting on a bush. I had my two young girls with me and we were so stunned at how beautiful he was that we just stood there for ages watching him move in the sunlight. Aren't they beautiful?
