Recently I've had the urge to use butterflies conceptually and how I can use them creatively.
I tried to color some of the butterflies pink but I didn't like the outcome like I imagined it.

Here's my beautiful cousin! She did an awesome job modeling and I really want to use her as a model again.
It's been way too long since I did a conceptual photo and it was nice to break out the smoke bombs for this one! (I promise to start shooting more creative stuff, I got into a little rut there for a while just shooting product stuff for school and photography lost a little bit of it's charm, I still loved it, but not as much as my conceptual stuff.)
Oh and on a random side-note I survived my 21st birthday on Thursday, barely... It was crazy!! :)
It looks better when you view it larger and on black.
"Alcove Solace:" This off-the-beaten-path alcove in Sedona provided shade and solitude, along with a nice view.
Kylingavatn, Iceland - on the way towards Landmannalaugar
This lake was on the road to Landmannalaugar (its about a 50km trail), its a beautiful drive - definitely a must if you are in iceland. It's amazing how quickly the landscape and the weather can change just driving around the corner.
Enjoying the amazing view with yours truly under the stars.

In the Unitarian churchyard, I thought I heard the voice of Emerson, who might have walked this very pathway:
Every natural fact is a symbol of some spiritual fact.
Taiban, New Mexico was a whistle stop on the railroad that ran East and West through eastern New Mexico. About fourteen miles east of Fort Sumner, Taiban is at the western edge of the Llano Estacado. It was a thriving community that served the local farmers and ranchers. The town boasted a post office, general mercantile store, school, bank, hotel, and a bawdy house that slaked many a thirst and raised many an eyebrow. There was even an international airport in the '50s!
A pillar of the community throughout the town's life was the Presbyterian church which also served Baptist and Methodist faiths. Built in 1908, the church opened its doors in December of that year. It played a major role in the spiritual life of the community. The last service at the church was held in 1936.
As trains were able to go greater distances without stopping for water and fuel, Taiban slowly lost its importance. Drought and the Depression swallowed Taiban and people moved away.
However, to this day, the church continues to be a source of continuing solace to travelers on US 60/84. On the walls inside the church are messages that range from the "Kilroy was here" type to inspirational messages and prayers of hope.

Well, I had a little vacation in my mind to Colorado (from the last pic I posted) and now it's time to dream of the beach. :) What is it about beach grass that I love soooo much!?!
Early this morning spotted the bunny by the bushes, grabbed camera, opened door, bunny - gone. Found this lovely creature resting quiet, motionless, on the dahlia. Perfect light, color combination, background. A sweet gift to start my day.
This is one of my 'outside offices'... the places I go when I need to dream, to ponder, and to read.
Even in the winter, it can be rejuvenating... and is always less crowded.
This is Coronation Park, in Oakville, Ontario Canada on the shores of Lake Ontario.

The famous building from the Steptoe Butte State Park. Taken on June 20th, 2015.
Being a hot year, I was surprised the fields were past their peak greens at that time of the year, but I think this lemon color turned out even better :)
Thanks for viewing !

The Katies got together again at last after a burlesque show at The Red Rum Revue. I had DJ'd a festival earlier in the day before dancing at my burlesque club. I was so happy, but oh so drained.
Ms Katie Parx was there for me to perform for her, and after the show by my side to chit chat with patrons and staff before we whisked away to my patio for some much needed quiet time together.
Lawd I love and adore her...
That pretty blonde Neko cuddled and cared for this tired ginger haired Fae in the best way - her way. :-)
We don;t get to see each other much, but when we do, the time we are apart disappears.
I love you very much Ms Parx :-)
