Flea is the first little dog I ever brought into our family. I had big, robust dogs when I was younger. I was not a fan of small dogs. I saw little dogs as delicate, yappy, and entitled. Flea is all of that but she is also non-shedding, extremely loyal, and highly intelligent. Also, while a big dog could easily tear her to shreds, she is a lot more durable than I had originally considered small dogs could be; she hikes with me as well or better than any other dog I have had. I am extremely grateful that she is part of my life.
Even though this beetle was tiny, it was hard to miss! Photographed in the Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge, Wisconsin.
A shot from the time when the flea market was organised on the main square in Krakow. This trader was worried about lack of customers.
Quite an old photo - 2003 back then I didn't know that what I was doing some people called ‘street photography’. :)

Sumac flea beetles, Blephardia rhois, on skunkbrush sumac, Rhus trilobata. These beetles have larvae that feed on this host, and the larvae have fecal shields to protect themselves from predators. Thanks to Steve Mlodinow for the tip on where these beetles were feeding.
About a year ago we had the pleasure of spending a month in Paris, France. On our travels we usually seek out food markets and street art among other things. On this day we stumbled upon an open air flea market in the 13th arrondissement on a day we had gone out to photograph street art. What a great experience it was! This is not one of the better known flea markets in Paris, nor is the 13th arrondissement one of the touristy parts of this great city which for us made it all the more enticing. We did find and photograph some wonderful street art, but this turned out to be one of my favorite shots from the day, and the black and white rendering seems to enhance the feel of the market. By the way, the overpass is where one of the Metro lines run.
Thanks to everyone for stopping by to view, fave, and comment!!
The flea beetle is a small, jumping beetle of the leaf beetle family (Chrysomelidae), that makes up the tribe Alticini which is part of the subfamily Galerucinae. Historically the flea beetles were classified as their own subfamily.
Though most tribes of the Galerucinae are suspect of rampant paraphyly in the present delimitation, the Alticini seem to form a good clade.
Over at the Brimfield Massachusetts Antique Fair and Flea Market which occurs three times a year is one of the largest of it's type in the country where it occurs three times a year. Once in spring, summer and fall and lasts about a week where several hundred vendors over several acres sell a wide variety of goods, Luckily for me and my wife it's only about 140 miles away from NYC and only 70 miles from Boston making it just within reasonable day trip range although it takes an exhausting several hours to give all the vendors a serious look over. Along the road this guy was trying to draw people into one small area.

You’ll find all kinds of knick-knacks and intriguing miscellanea at this open-air flea market – original art, shaggy shepherds' hats, accordions, jewellery, silver, glass, daggers and Soviet memorabilia. It's best at weekends.

I *think* this is everything (besides the freckles.) These are all scans of the fabrics I own. Let me know if I am missing anything. I was never able to find a resource online that showed all the fabrics from the line, so I wanted to offer that everyone :)

Feel free to post these anywhere you want online (blogs, etc.)
