Several weeks ago (or maybe it was just a week ago), Pioneer Woman held one of her photo challenges…this one was “bug” related. As much as I love a photo challenge, I still feel a tad bit intimidated to enter my photos into her competition because there are so many talented photographers that enter. Can you tell I’m working on my confidence? However, as a result of that challenge, I became fascinated with photographing bugs…especially bees. I don’t necessarily want to get too close to bees (thus the reason I now own a macro lens), but I think there hold incredible beauty.
With that said, this is another shot I captured at the zoo. I remember walking away from the alligators and turtles…and then wandering over to some flowers. My husband was so sweet to hold my camera bag.

I’ve also been meaning to thank Melissa D. over at 4 Ladies and a Patient Man for the Blogger with Substance Award.
With this particular award, I am supposed to:
- Sum up your blogging philosophy, motivation, and experience using five (5) words
- Pass it on to 10 other blogs which you feel have real substance.
So…five words (or more):
- Photography
- Ramblings (my own stream of consciousness)
- PSE Editing
- Connection
- Life
And 10 other blogs that I feel have real substance:
If you haven’t checked out this blog…do it now! That’s all I’ll say.
It’s also Flash Back Friday…so although I probably won’t participate this week – check them out. Maybe even pull out an old photo and share it with the rest of us!
Madeline Bea has a new website…and a new challenge called the Sunday Creative. Her work is beautiful and inspiring.
The Paper Mama also sponsors a wonderful weekly challenge. I enjoy looking at the entries but I don’t participate because it’s all about the kids and I don’t feel like sharing that much of Kitty Paw each week.
Alright, I’m going to leave it at five. Notice that I tried to choose some blogs that I haven’t featured before. Now, if you’ve read this far…share a blog or two with me that I should be following. I want to be in the know!
I may be back later with a Before and After…and then tomorrow is SOOC Saturday and the first official “Facing Myself” self portrait challenge. Have a great 4th of July weekend!
