This plushie I made on commission, but the design is my own, based on this picture from my blog:

The eyes were a bit of a challenge as I haven't made them like this before, but I think they turned out ok.

a nightly stroll through the woods resulted in me feeling enchanted by the fireflies abound... (f2.8, 159sec)
This little arrangement was in a friend's home. I grabbed my camera, took the pic, and here it is. A couple of giclees of this sold.

If this video loads correctly then no explanation will be needed. However, faeries are notoriously bad with technology so we will see. This upload is late due to the intense struggle my computer and I have already had. But rest assured that I will not cease to pursue this venture until I am victorious and you are able to enjoy all 15 seconds of spectacular imagery. It might just change your life. I know it will mine. :)
Oh, darn!
I missed her!
She was just waking up from a nap just before twilight.
She was stretching so peacefully, lying on her gossamer hammock.
Then she saw me, gave me a quick wink and flew away before the shutter could catch her.
Better luck next time.

My girlfriend is Scottish and, as the flower and symbol of Scotland, she has a Thistle tattoo. As such, I knew she'd be pretty thrilled that I came upon such a flawless specimen, as this flower is perfectly bloomed. Add a friendly and also perfect Black Swallowtail butterfly and you have a pretty happy photographer.
