I was tempted to title this post, Cohabitation, since it is a bumblebee amidst “fairies,” as so many people have called the dandelion seeds. But I decided to go with the name of the person who gave me the bumblebee. She found it on the ground on her way into work and thought I might like to photograph it. 😉

Not to rush time, but I am happy to share that I have two 2013 calendars available for purchase: Leaves and Petals and Butterflies and Moths. I’ve ordered them both and am quite pleased with the quality. Even though many people keep detailed schedules on their phones these days, for those who still like to put pen to paper or just glance at a wall calendar with a peaceful image, I hope these items will be of interest for personal use or as a gift. I have one more calendar planned before year’s end and its imagery will focus on food. Stay tuned. 😉

I found this fellow as I was opening the window this morning. Just look at those lovely legs. If anyone knows the name of this insect, please share. 😉

… but I couldn’t help myself. Sometimes I find dragonflies on the ground and sometimes I find moths. On occasion, I spy spiders sitting on silken webs in a corner of the house.
I’ve yet to photograph the mouse that refuses to wear diapers else he’d be welcome to stay. In the end, they are all beautiful creatures.

… found, one Saturday morning, on the church steps. I wrote about him once.
Over time, and with the aid of little hands and big windy storms, the little fellow’s body has deteriorated quite a bit, but the wings are still intact …
… and quite beautiful.

… that caught my eyes and made me pause as I raced across the Public Garden. Already late for a meeting, I had had no intentions of pausing or pulling out my camera. But how could I not as I looked more closely at what lay before me?

While doing some very late spring cleaning, I came across two butterflies I created a few years ago. At the time I think I was at a multi-pronged fork in the road. As my mind mulled over next steps, I needed to keep my hands busy. This is what I produced.
