Bumble Bee

 

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.

Summer Iris

 

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…

Makin’ Some Jewelry

 

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…

 

Black and Silver Dagger/Athame Charm Earrings

 

And this…

 

Blue and Silver Buddha Necklace and Earring Set

 

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…

Dew Drop

 

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.

 

Dew Drop

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…

License Plate Fun

 

As a photographer, I always make sure I have my camera with me wherever I go.  On the rare occasions I forget it when I step out the door, I feel lost, or dare I say, naked without it.  I carry my camera so I can be prepared when I see something pretty, something interesting, something pretty interesting, something funny, something pretty funny, etc.

 

Every time I see a funny or unusual “vanity” plate, I snap a picture.  Recently, I came across one that literally made me “LOL”!

 

Game of Thrones fans will be pleased!

 

HODOR plate

 

Keep an eye out for vanity plates because some of them are pretty awesome.  But speaking of vanity plates dear readers, I’m curious…What’s the funniest or most imaginative one you’ve ever come across?

 

 

Until next time…  HODOR!!!
