This weeks additions to my Zazzle store, Developing Nature, have been images of flowers, plants and a Daddy long-legs.  Interesting fact about the Daddy long-legs, its nick name is also used for two other bugs, the Crane Fly and Cellar Spider.  This arachnid has also been unchanged for millions of years. Title: It was Berry [...]

I like the children’s book, “Make Way for Ducklings”, and could not help myself using a similar title for this blog post. I have added a few photographs of some ducks that I had taken at a pond to my Zazzle store, Developing Nature today.  Below are a few of the prints available.  For this [...]

This week I spent most of my time working on my fantasy Zazzle store.  I created a couple new prints, added a few products offered by Zazzle and changed the look of the store. Lake Guardian: This image was created using a unicorn tube and one of my lake photographs.  I then added a few [...]

This has been a busy week.  I have added several new photographs to my Zazzle store, Developing Nature, and I have been working on painting my girls bedroom furniture and getting their messy small room reorganized.  We are also weeding out toys.  How do kids end up with so many, when we buy just a [...]

I feel bad about not having time to create new fantasy art for my fantasy store on Zazzle. So I recently uploaded a few older works. There are landscapes I created merging together different photographs. And there are a few unicorn digital paintings. As soon as it becomes less busy/crazy at home, I plan on [...]

I can’t believe this is happening.  I knew this day would come, but seriously……  What greedy bastards! The fighting has escalated and it is horrible. I remember growing up with the discussions of what will become of the old farm house I grew up in.  The older brothers gathered around talking about how She should [...]

Yesterday I kept hearing rustling in the yard.  I did not see anything outside.  Later in the day I heard it again, but this time I saw what was the possible cause of the noise, a turtle.  We rushed outside to observe the turtle.  My little one kept petting it.  I sent a pic to [...]

I spent the last two days adding new photos to my Zazzle store, Developing Nature.  You will find photos of Lady’s Slippers, Lilacs, Bumblebees, Tiger Swallowtail butterflies, Old Fashioned Bleeding Hearts, a Barred Owl, a Fern,  Lily-of-the-Valley, and Indian Cucumber Root. I was very happy to come across the Pink Lady’s Slipper during a hike [...]

I recently took some photographs of orchid plants my husband bought me for our anniversary.  I just uploaded a few to my imagekind gallery today.  Here are a few you will find.  Please stop by and browse the gallery, maybe leave a comment, or take a print home with you

Last night, I noticed my cat was trying to climb the fireplace, then I saw why.  There was a squirrel on the bricks.  I put my cat and dog in the kennel and proceeded to catch the squirrel.  It did not go well.  It hid behind the entertainment stand, out of my reach.  I made [...]

So we moved.  We are in our home state now.  It’s nice.  It would be better tho if man hadn’t messed up the atmosphere, and we had snow.  Just 11 years ago, or so, I was standing in snow up to my knees, and now some snow falls, then it melts away.  The kids were [...]

Join me in helping to save wolves from Idahos blood lust by boycotting what Idaho is famous for, potatoes.  Lets hurt ranchers where it hurts too, by boycotting beef.  We have to take a stand and help the beautiful wolves before its too late.  Remember when you go shopping, keep potatoes and beef products off [...]

I have made a great change to the print on demand gallery account I have on imagekind.com.  I have made the decision to only have still life seashell photographs hosted there for now.  In an earlier post, you will see that I was going to have just the National Park photos available at ImageKind.  I [...]
