One thing I’ve always wanted in my yard (besides a fence around my property) is a Lilac tree. I’ve always loved the scent of lilacs and have always loved the color purple. But, I don’t have a lilac tree in my yard and don’t have the funds to purchase one to plant. So, I have to settle for stopping by some I find on the side of the road for pictures and to “stop and smell the lilacs.”
Until next time…

And no, I’m not talking Transformers here (though they’re awesome!). I’m talking actual bumble bee.
I found this little guy flitting around from flower to flower on my most recent hike. Hopefully he (or she) was able to find enough nectar and pollen.
Until next time…

Recently I took a break from my writing (for a whole week which is longer than I should have) and my jewelry in order to get outside and get some fresh air, some sun, and some photographs.
I went back to my favorite hiking spot, Quoddy Head State Park, and found (out at Green Point) some of the first Irises of the summer. I wasn’t expecting to see them yet this year, but, seeing as it was the Summer Solstice yesterday, I guess I shouldn‘t have been so surprised.
Oh, and for those that don’t know (or forgot), yesterday wasn’t just the Summer Solstice, it was also Father’s Day! Love you, dad!
Until next time…

I’ve still been busy with things other than my photography. My cat still needs meds and fluid treatments and I’m still working on my writing, but I‘ve also been making jewelry. I‘ve busted out quite a few pieces recently and posted them for sale.
I guess I kind of lied when I said I wasn‘t doing much photography. After all, I had to take photos of each piece for the listing! [^_^]
Things like this…
And this…
Help me out by checking out my online store! You might even find something you like, or something someone you know will like! Maybe someday I’ll get around to adding prints of my photography!
Until next time…

Recently I’ve been a little too busy to get out and really concentrate on my photography. Not only have I been focusing on one of my cats, who now requires daily medication and weekly fluid treatments, but I’ve also been hard at work on my second novel (even though the first could use more work… A lot more).
But, I take a minute each day to step outside and visit the resting places of the three cats I’ve lost over the years (I dislike saying “graves” as it feels a bit too morose when referring to the pets I love and miss). As I was kneeling at the stone of my most recent lost friend, I looked around at all the dew covered clover and this caught my eye.
This dew drop is pretty much a perfect sphere. It reminds me of a little crystal ball.
Anyway, apologies if this week’s blog post seems like a bit of a downer. I didn’t intend it to be. Hopefully I can do better next week.
Until next time…
