I have spoken about ad sense .. a lot of people do .. it is part of blogging.<br /><br />Next time, I would suggest, finding out exactly what you are talking about before you go off blaming people for things that bother you, based on what country they are from.Notes From ABroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202279303962539035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-41644875646799536862012-03-02T17:56:36.766-08:002012-03-02T17:56:36.766-08:00P.S.

Please rest assured that it was only 'Tracey's' URL which I complained to Google about, and not yours.<br /><br />If I have jumped to conclusions, then I am sorry, but I could not see why all this stuff seemed to happen just after I had asked about 'AdSense' on your blog, but maybe someone had taken over 'Tracey's' blog at the same time.

Blue is the last colour to disappear in the spectrum (for us) which is why you get 'blue horizons', and why paintings using the 'glazing' technique always start with a layer of blue before the rest of the colours are laid over.<br /><br />P.S. I may have over-reacted a bit to 'Tracey's Crafty Scraps' last night, but I am still not going to follow a blog which bombards you with so many Google Adsense features that it obliterates everyone else's posts under a mountain of rubbish.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-73237912193310442162012-02-29T17:08:27.831-08:002012-02-29T17:08:27.831-08:00Wow ... well back to that blue.

They observe light in a polarised way, which gives them a fix on direction according to the light from the sun.<br /><br />They also see in a spectrum which includes more bands than we can see, and this includes the ultra-violet one. Birds and butterflies see the same way, but butterflies and moths have a far higher sensitivity to pheremones and smells in general, so I am guessing that the perfume in flowers is mainly direct toward butterflies. Don't take my word for this, though.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-28706129883168578912012-02-29T13:35:13.366-08:002012-02-29T13:35:13.366-08:00Does anyone here suffer from hay-fever?
