Insects, outside, living room forts, and lounging with the dog. Summer is here. Day 163 ~ Alien Invasion This thing flew by me and Anna while we were playing basketball out front, then landed under Curtis’s car. Ewww! What is it??? It was about 3 inches long.

I’m participating in a blog circle with other Clickin Moms for 2013. May’s challenge is called “beautiful ugly” which could mean shooting something not ordinarily thought of as beautiful and making it look good, or vice versa. I have a rose bush in my front yard that is gorgeous when it blooms. The roses don’t last long…
Very cool! Love the thought process you’ve used

I agree Holly! There is something beautiful in the sadness of wilting flowers. I see the beauty in this lil bug too, but it still creeps me out a bit lol. Love your work as always!

Gorgeous. I’m not a bug person but I am always in awe of how beautiful they appear in your images!

I love these, so cool that you captured that bug!

So pretty and vibrant, Holly! and yes, the critter in the last pic is ugly and creepy but the photo itself is lovely!
As the year waxes on, I’m finding myself picking up my camera less and less, though I have shot a couple of events lately. I’m hoping once I get through the busy last week of the school year, I will find my spark again. We had our 5th annual Memorial Day block party yesterday, complete…
Thank you for all of your prayers last week. Renee came through her third brain surgery with no ill effects and it looks like they got all of the cancer again. Let’s pray she stays cancer-free for good! She has to go through more radiation and chemo, but she is doing really well. Heading into…

It’s late, so I’ll keep this short. Please pray for my friend, Renee. I’ve blogged about her several times and you can follow her story on her blog, Team S. She’s battling Stage IV metastatic breast cancer that has returned to her brain for the third time. She will have brain surgery again later this…
