no really....

no really
your new haircut looks terrific. don't cry. it will always grow back. let's go shopping for an amazing scarf which when wrapped around your neck will make your hair look longer. it's not that bad. honest. nobody will even notice.

remember, the bugs are really slow right now and it's the best time to photograph them. to answer a question from my butterfly post....no, i never use a tripod and having eliminated almost all the caffeine from my diet, gives me a steady hand. i love questions about my camera and lenses and anything else to do with photography. so please. go ahead. ask me.

  1. How do you find the time for great photography. I had intentions of every photo I posted being 'perfect' at one point, but now time gets away from me and I no longer am taking the photo quality I was some months ago... *sigh*

    I love bug converstaions!

  3. Thank you for that. :) It reminds me of You've Got Mail, when Meg Ryan talks about the butterfly on the subway going to buy a hat ... which will turn out to be a mistake, as most hats do. *sigh, now I'd like a new scarf. ;)

    Stating the obvious: Awesome photograph!

  8. Love these autumnally striped bugs. Love their dialogue even more, and since I recently got my hair shorn just a tad too short, I relate!

  13. Yup! another brilliant shot!
    I was thinking of you as I was driving home the other day. If you want to come to my neck of the woods I have the best little haunt to pull over and take amazing pics. Should pick a nice, sunny day though. The fall colors will work wonders!

  14. awww...such a nice little bug friend.
    love this shot, I love milkweed pods (that is milkweed, right?). I used to have a lot of it around my house but I don't see it so much anymore...
    you always make me smile.

  17. I wish I could sit down with you and ask the questions about my camera. I am close to understanding, but just need a little more guidance. Your pictures are always so beautiful even if the hair is cut too short and you have to wear a scarf for awhile. Your fall must be getting so beautiful there now.

  18. I love your bug photos, and I love taking them this time of year, too. I've just been catching up on your adventures tonight. Don't get me started on doors. I could go on and on.

    I have a feeling your hair looks gorgeous no matter what. xo

  19. Seriously?!?! Bugs are really snow right now... because it's cooler? Regardless, I'm going on the hunt for some tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.
    Hope life is treating you good Beth.
    Cheers, jj
