I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.
The world is like a book and those, who do not travel, only read the first page.

Pyrginae, commonly known as spread-winged skippers, are a subfamily of the skipper butterfly family. The subfamily was established by Hermann Burmeister in 1878
Despite the parachute structure of the individual Dandelion seeds being largely made up of empty space, it is believed their design creates a ring-shaped air bubble ("separated vortex ring") which slows their descent to the ground and allows them to spread further afield (and into my garden as an unfortunate consequence). It is thought their design is up to four times more efficient that a conventional parachute.

I had the privilege of creating a 6 image editorial for SPARK's debut issue - out now! I decided to feature a long gone (but not forgotten) designer, Paper Couture, and their timeless vintage pieces mixed with new creations from some of Second Life's top creators. This editorial has been on my mind for a few years and I'm happy I was able to find a home for it to live. All my love to my first virtual obsession, Paper Couture.

Spreading Dogbane Flowers
Looks candy-like but toxic to mammals if eaten. This might possibly be my new favorite flower!
I spent the past week north of Huntsville Ontario at a cottage on Loon Lake. With a pair of nesting loons not far away, I would have to say the lake was aptly titled. I would have to say that the Loon is one of my favourite birds. I just love their feather pattern, their deep red eyes and their beautiful call.
Here is the second of my Loon shots...this one of the bird shaking off the water from her recent dive. Hope you enjoy!
"Myosotis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae. The name comes from the Ancient Greek μυοσωτίς "mouse's ear", which the foliage is thought to resemble. In the northern hemisphere they are colloquially known as forget-me-nots or scorpion grasses."...Wikipedia
My forget-me-not flowers spread their beauty every year, taking up more space in my garden. Here's to the return of those perennial flower friends.
"Dandelions are masters of survival. They can take root in places that seem little short of miraculous, and then are impossible to get rid of, as homeowners have found. But why is this plant so hard to kill? It’s because they are fast growers. The sunny yellow flowers go from bud to seed in days. Their lifespan is long, too – an individual plant can live for years, so the dandelion lurking in a corner of the playground might be older than the children running past it. The roots sink in deeper over the years, and can go down 15 feet.
Like the Hydra who sprouted two new heads for every one that was cut off, the roots clone when divided; a one-inch bit of dandelion root can grow a whole new dandelion. Dandelion leaves can shove their way though gravel and cement, and thrive in barren habitats."
