Floral Kendall Photography Roses, and so Much More
If I see a flower, I am compelled to photograph it. I never get tired of photographing flowers. They are ephemeral. You will never see the same flower twice. Of course, the way to tell flowers apart is to have a photographic record of all the flowers you have ever ran into. Most of my floral photography takes place in my garden. I have a couple of rose bushes and a papaya tree. I used to have more variety, but times are trying. I have been working more on my books and my art. For this reason, I have neglected...
BJD Doll Book Club Dearmine and Dollmore Photoshoot
Today, I did a small little photoshoot featuring my cat and my vampire dolls. The Dearmine doll is the cat doll. The vampire doll was made by Dollmore. Most of the outfits are from Dollmore. The general theme was tea and books. I wanted to go for a vintage type of feel for the photoshoot. I first photographed the dolls alone, and then together. I also did a short video for Tiktok and Youtube. It is going to be up and about sometime tonight. So, hopefully, this will give you something to look forward to. I recently...
Cheesecake Factory Revisited Review Foodie Weekend
This weekend we went to the Cheesecake Factory in Dadeland Mall. We wanted to get mother her Mother’s Day present early. So, we figured that we might as well eat in one of our favorite restaurants.

It is a good thing that we do not eat out so often. We like to reserve it for at least once a week. If we don’t get...
Butterflies on Mexican Sunflowers Watercolor Paintings
I did two watercolor paintings featuring Mexican Sunflowers. These little sunflowers attract a bunch of different butterflies to my garden. I reworked two photographs into the paintings you see above. The first shows the Sunflower in full bloom. The second painting shows that even a withered flower still attracts butterflies. In fact, the withered flower had more butterflies than the fresh flower. I do not know what that is all about. The first butterfly I think it might be a Tiger Swallow Tail Butterfly. It is a male one to be more specific about it. The three other butterflies are...
Black and White Party Ensemble Doll Chateau Ashley Photoshoot
Today, I wanted to show you my latest bjd doll photoshoot. This is a solo photoshoot featuring just my Doll Chateau Ashley. She is wearing the skinny jeans of one doll and the shirt of the faun doll. Together, it makes for quite the sleek ensemble. I had her wear a white wig. Since the entire outfit was in black and white, I figured I would make the entire photoshoot in that format. I did a few closeup photos as well as portraits. I tried to experiment with the different angles and the poses of the...
