Ethiopian Butterflies

As we have had very little to post lately, here are some more photos from Ethiopia. They are mostly Butterflies with a few Moths and Dragonflies thrown in. Sue

  22. Hi John. Already posted a comment on this post, above, but I'd like to pick your brains please! How have you set up your blog so that the comments have a 'Reply' facility attached to them? Keep up the good work. Richard

  23. Proof that I'm getting old and stupid - just seen that I'd not commented on this post after all!

    Another great post, John, with fabulous images that are well up to your usual standard.

    1. Hi Richard, We didn't set up the reply feature, it has just appeared.
      Something else that appeared a few months ago was the row of small pictures when you click on one of the photos, meaning you can just go along the row to view them instead of coming out of one photo and into the next.It's very handy but it never used to be there.
      Sue actually took most of the Butterflies and is just counting down the days 'til the summer. John

    2. Thank you John for your reply. I can't find a way of getting the 'reply' facility on my blog, but would love to have it there. I'll keep probing!! I do, however, get the facility to go along the row for enlarged images, which I think is a great feature.

    3. Hi John - got it sussed now! I did a search on 'reply' in the Blogger 'help' facility and it gave the answer (too complex to repeat here). All set up on my blog now. Thanks again, and all the best!

  25. Fantastic series!
    The butterflies are exquisite but what catches my eye are the dragonflies so exotic compared to French ones!
    Great stuff!
