Butterflies

Nature is so awesome. And inspiring.

Not long after Pastor John preached about letting go of your plans (your plans are like catching a moth) so that God can work His plans for you, I saw these pink bushes on the trail at Bob Eden park and the bushes were covered with butterflies like this one.

It was amazing.

I wished I had a really nice camera to snap up a hundred pictures that did the moment justice.

I was walking back the office from my lunchtime stroll on Katy Trail when I saw this:

Photo - A Very Large Tree

I think it was the summer of 2009 when Claudia, Katie and I set out on a Serendipty trip for House of Shine. At the alotted time we ended up in an old, overgrown cemetary. This very large, overgrown tree was there. I love this photo.

I might also mentioned that Katie and I were the recipients of some mean chiggers. Claudia wore pants that day so she escaped the little skin munchers.

Photo: Pool Shadow

Taken in November of 2008. Or 2009. Not sure.

This is not the best image or composition but here's what I like about it:

1. I like the curve of the stem.
2. I like the brick pattern on the right background.
3. I like the leaf hanging down from above.

My one rose bush in my backyard went crazy blooming in October.

Photography - One last kiss

I love this photo of the tulip that was reaching out of the vase. Nature really is a wonderful place to gather inspirations for artwork.

Tulips & Irises from Chris.

Or, Hugs & Kisses from Chris.

Photography - Hugs & Kisses

Oops. I've run out of paintings. Because, I haven't been painting.

Chris sent me flowers in October. It was called the Hugs & Kisses arrangement and they were beautiful. I enjoyed them at work and then brought them home to enjoy. I took this photo because I liked the way the tulip reached out to the right reminding me of the cantilever design compisition so I think I'm going to paint these one day. I will simply the background to be more of solid.

I'll leave out the kitchen water spout, too.
