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...

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...

Today, I did a two bjd doll photoshoot. The theme was Yoga. I used my Dollmore Ballerina doll and my Ringdoll cutie. All the Yoga poses were done by my Dollmore doll. The tiny doll was there for comedic relief.   She would try and fail to do the Yoga poses. Her toddler body is just not that flexible.   In total, I did 27 Yoga poses and 3 portrait photographs.   I liked numbers divisible by 2. So, I took 30 photographs in total.   I normally crop the photos. I do not like having too much empty background....

This weekend I went to Flanigan’s with my family. It had been a while since we ate a restaurant. I have been trying to eat at different places. Variety is the spice of life. We went a little early because we were starving. Despite arriving early, there was a bit of a line. We could have sat immediately outside, but we wanted to eat inside the restaurant. It was a little too windy, and chilly to eat in the outdoors. The waitress we got was attentive, and good natured. We ordered garlic breads and mozzarella sticks as appetizers. Both were...
