Okay, I fibbed a bit yesterday – this picture came out pretty well, too:

I’d have loved to get a bit closer to the fly, but I still really like this shot. 🙂

Here’s one of the flower shots I mentioned yesterday:

I spent a good half hour outside trying to get my flowers to sit still and behave for me before giving up and heading back inside. Of course the one night I have a few free minutes to play with my camera is the night the wind decides it needs to blow steadily at 20 mph (the gusts were stronger than that). I took a bunch of pictures, but this one turned out the best.

Behold, the Shadow Cat:

I had been trying to take some macro shots of the flowers on this side of our house when all of a sudden I heard a threatening growl from near my feet. I looked down and Buddy was sniffing at Shadow, who evidently wasn’t feeling overly friendly at that particular moment.

At least not to Buddy – when I bent down to pet him, he started purring.

Cats are weird, yo. 😀

I’ve been playing with my phone’s macro lens again:

I hardly ever do my nails, but this polish was too pretty to pass up. It also made for a fun girls’ night – I painted Miss Tadpole’s nails a pretty teal, and she did mine!

I love strawberries. I especially love finding them on sale, because growing them is a pain.

But what I love even more than finding strawberries on sale (and combining them with rhubarb) is chopping them up, mixing them with a little sugar, and then pouring them over a big bowl of vanilla ice cream.

It’s summer in a bowl!

Do you like strawberries? What’s your favorite way to eat them?

Buddy, Buddy, don’t freak out!

It’s only your shadow!

I could use some peace. Could you use some peace? Maybe I can help with that:

Doesn’t that picture just fill you with peace? I could stare at it all afternoon. *happy sigh*

I don’t know what this is, but it’s come up in my backyard for the last two summers now, and I can’t help marveling over how beautiful it is (despite the fact that it smells like onions). Does anyone have any idea what it is? If so, let me know! 🙂

Happy Friday, everybody! 🙂

Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer, do.
I’m half crazy,
All for the love of you.
It won’t be a stylish marriage,
I can’t afford a carriage,
But you’ll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two.

I’ve had that song stuck in my head ever since I caught those daisies on film last month. It’s a pretty song, though, and I love old songs like that. It’s true what they say, they don’t make ’em like they used to. 🙂

What are some of your favorite old-fashioned songs?
