Bokeh!!! :)



I feel like I cropped this one oddly, but after four tries this is the one I kept.

18 September 2009

I was working a lot that week, and the weeks following, to set up the new store.



It's not surprising that I took a piece of work home with me.

This is one of those cracked glass orb things you hang in your garden.

Taffy from our trip :)

RAAAAWR!!!!


I've been wanting to do a macro of a spider's face for a long time, and this guy was kinda hanging out, just waiting for me

It's way too damn early for Halloween Oreos.

This one is for Keith...



He didn't know what a sea urchin skeleton/shell looked like.

05 September 2009

It's a Stash tea rainbow! :)

I <3>

A REALLY BIG spider that lives outside above Keith's kitchen window.



I tried putting up a quarter to give it scale, but the quarter was on the inside of the window and it just didn't focus well lol.



The body of this thing is the size of a half dollar, no joke.



On deviantart, someone told me that this is an orb spider. They don't usually bite.


Still freaky.

I told you my family has ridiculous numbers of ducks, and that you would see them when I have no other ideas, didn't I?



I also just wanted to use my fun background. :)

The top of a snapdragon :)

A (delicious) cucumber from our garden.


Two or three thoughts:


1 - I think the thing with the red fuzz is a little raspberry sprout. Our raspberry bush is near where I took this picture.


2 - My mind is stuck in portrait orientation and it can't get out.


3- For some amazing "landscapes in portrait orientation" shots, look here.

My new mango candle...


I wasn't kidding about only being up a night, was I? Lol :)

Missy laying on her couch in my room.

I have a love/hate relationship with this photo. I've debated for a while whether I love it or if it could be better.


Being an artistic perfectionist has its downfalls at times.


In the end the teeny little orange curls beat me down and I have decided that I love it :)

22 August 2009

These were stolen from the various bouquets of flowers that are around my house right now. Including the bouquet my coworkers gave me when I left my old store :(



I've been doing a lot of still life and lightbox work lately. The main reason for this is that I have been working more than I am used to and am only up for taking pictures when it is dark out. I think you can tell that I'm in bit of a creative lull, as well.

21 August 2009

Granted, this is not the greatest quality.


But I am super excited that I caught the spider shooting out its web :)


I am also a huge nerd and love being able to see what the spider looks like up close. Nature works in weird ways, that's for sure...




(This was after I ran into its web, noticed it crawling in my red hair a few minutes later out of the corner of my eye, and threw it on the bricks.)

20 August 2009

I've been wanting to take a shot like this for a long time!

More raindrop (aka: sprinkler) fun :)
