Hi... I'm back....
No, we are back....Glad to see you again !!!
To begin with, let me tell you why there has been a gap in our blog posts. As mentioned in an earlier post, our house is on a hillside which was covered with lush greenery when we started the blog. By the end of 2013, realtors flattened our neighborhood by bringing down the hill slope, devastating the entire micro ecosystem. For the butterflies and birds, it must have looked like a barren land devoid of food, foliage and habitat. And they left, without a trace.
And it took 6 to 7 years for the green cover to make a partial come back instilling confidence in our winged friends.
Now, I'm so excited that our kids are back.They are busy laying eggs, eating leaves, growing, molting, becoming pupae and finally stretching their wings out.
"Complete Metamorphosis" !!!
Now, they are happy... so are we...
