Ok, thank you very much Emma, I didn´t know that.
patty,make sure you click the " owner of picture" box first and then save it.That way it appears only once.
Thank you very much for the nice comments Macu, Sofi, Facu and Mati =). Mati, sometimes when I upload a picture the picture appears twice, but I don´t know the reason, it simply happens and a lot. Greetings and thank you for the comment
O´brigada Mayra. Adorei olhar eles brincando um monte na agua =)
By the way, I may also say that visiting the philipines is one of my dreams =).
Thank you very much Shauming! =) And yes, South America is beautiful. I think all places have beautiful things and interesting things to learn, and we have many too. I hope you can come =)
Love this series Patty, really South America is always in my list since 15 years ago, just too bad i am still dreaming to go there.
