Ok everyone! You all know that I've been submitting photos to JPG Magazine. Well, one of the things that you can also submit are stories. You all had so much fun with my "Wheel Bug" story (and so did I), I decided to submit the entire story along with the photos for consideration for publishing...

Inside the Flower of a Prickly Pear Cactus

I wanted to share the inner beauty of one of my favorite flowers. This photo not only shows the Prickly Pear's Flower, but it also shows the adorable, plump little bud along side of the flower. I posted two other view of this lovely gem of a flower in my gallery including a full view of the plant...

Prickly Pear Cactus: View 2

The Prickly Pear Cactus is the only cactus that grows here in the Northeastern United States.

Prickly Pear Cactus View 1

Hi Everyone! I just couldn't believe my good fortune on Monday of this week. Early Monday morning, I went out on the patio to check my Prickly Pear Cactus to see whether it had flowers yet. I was disappointed to find only flower buds again this morning. They have been buds for a few weeks now, getting...

Color Theory

This tiny little red spidery bug was crawling around on a red garden pot out on my patio. I'm not exactly sure what kind of bug he is, maybe a Spider Mite? I submitted this photo to JPG Magazine for the theme "Color Theory: photos that are mostly one color". If you want to take a look at...

Meadow Fritallary

This photo of the Meadow Fritallary is my favorite because it's little proboscis is up over his head all curled up and it just looks surreal to me. He's such a perfect little creature. Even though I thought I had a good handle on the research part of identifying all of my photography subjects...

Meadow Fritallary

I took these photos a couple of days ago and I liked the way a couple of them came out. Each one show this little guy in a slightly different position and you see his little proboscis (the thing he sips nectar with). I hope you like him. He is a Meadow Fritallary (Boloria bellona) in the Family of Brush...

House Spider?????

Hi Everybody! I'm so glad you're enjoying my photos. You all know I'm a bug girl, but I am also a flower girl. I'll try to give the flowers equal time this year. BUT, I do have another spider photo to give you the creepy crawlies. This guy is very shy and I could only get a couple of...

Wild Pansy Goes Full Circle

A whole bunch of Wild Pansies magically appeared in my flower pots last fall and reappeared this spring. I just assumed they were dropped from the Heavens (or the wind or birds). Now I see that these beautiful little flowers transform into beautiful little seed pods. No wonder I have so many Pansies...
