A pill woodlouse (Armadillidium vulgare) from my garden in Aberaeron - also goes by several other names including pill bug, roll-poly, slater, potato bug and doodle bug. They are quite large, being about 18mm long, slate grey and gets their name because of their ability to roll tightly into a ball (like a pill) for protection. You can make out its eyes here, either side of the smaller plate in the centre of the frame - they look like blackberries. Woodlice are terrestrial isopod crustaceans, more related to shrimps, prawns, crabs and lobsters than insects. They are very successful being adapted to exist in damp dark environments and are important detritivores.

A single tulip at the end of its life from the bunch I had given to me on my recent birthday. I gave the tulips a suitably fond farewell when depositing them on the compost heap :-)
Let's see...recently we've been to Seattle, the county fair, and to the flower garden. How about a quick spin around my [still new] city? Here we go... :)
Note: Having missed most of the summer here on Flickr, I've got lots & lots of photos to post--thus the daily multiples. So please don't feel as though you have to comment on all (or any). You rock just for stopping by! :)

Things I ♥ Month Continues! We've talked about Winter, and we've talked about Spring...but what about the other seasons?
Fall: Absolutely my favorite of the 4 seasons, Autumn is a time for romance, falling leaves, and bundling up in sweaters! Don't you just love the rustle of leaves and the crisp, fresh air? It's also a time for finding colorful displays of nature like this one from October! What's your favorite season?
Note: This shot is dedicated to my two dear friends, Nicole and Robyn, who left me speechless with the most touching & tremendous testimonials. If you want to see immense talent in both words & images, visit their streams now. :)

"Get Down on It" Week Continues! A 7-day celebration of looking down our noses at our subjects, much like King Henry VIII did.
Painting: Chicago was thunderstorming all day yesterday, so I spent the morning in the corner of my studio where I go to paint, but mostly I watched the rain pelt the windows. Ahhhhhhh. Well, you know what happened next: a click of the shutter...then a nap. :)
My talented friend Kim also shot paint brushes yesterday, because great creative minds think alike. :)

Things I ♥ Month Continues! I know it's not healthy to go from a summery beach shot 2 days ago to the bitter cold of Chicago in December, but this wintry landscape reveals another long-time love of mine...
Fenceh: No, not plain fences...fenceH! This is what happens when you combine a fence with bokeh...you get fenceh! Some pronounce it fenc-keh, and this is equally lovable. And if you like photographing fences or just staring at amazing pics of them, then you need to head over to ~~fence friday~~, where they serve up some of the best fenceh around! :)

I bought an amaryllis bulb in early December and I was hoping she would be flowering by Christmas but sadly, it was not to be. Fingers crossed though that she will be revealing her beauty in time for the new year

Writing by Hand: Last week I mentioned one of my resolutions was to read more printed books. Along with that, I'm resolved to spend more time actually using pen & paper to write cards, letters, thoughts...anything. Just so long as I'm not using my fingers to type. I had such pride in my penmanship, and I miss it.
Filofax: In the '90s, my entire life was contained in my overstuffed black leather Filofax personal organizer. It not only held a journal, but also my credit cards, checks & detailed handwritten entries of all my activities, purchases, travels, etc. I loved the tactile feel of turning to a fresh page to start a new day & writing out my plans. Now it's all in my lovely but very sterile iPhone. :(
