{side note: all of the pictures in my b.w.p.* posts are blurry i guess from the transfer, so i apologize.  of course, i suppose i could use this to my advantage and finally get that big girl camera i've been coveting...  *b.w.p. = before word press}   to get used to how pictures show up in my blog  - and to share a few things with you - i figured a phone photo dump is in order.  be warned...the quality isn't all that great.  i love my new cell phone, but it doesn't have a flash nor do i have a very steady hand. so i was cutting through a local shopping center last week {to get from tj maxx to target, of course!} and i saw this stop sign behind walmart.  it made me laugh. can you see what it says?  you might have to click on the picture {this is a klassy cell phone … [Read more...]

July 27, 2011 by · 2 Comments

i don't want to disappoint, but i think this will be the last set of bug pictures i post for a while. why? well, i'm lazy & not interested in scouring my backyard for another insect to photograph. besides, i'm sure y'all want to see pictures of things like the beach, the pups & various other shenanigans that may {or may not} take place at mi casa. no? well, whatever.so, here is my latest installment for {semi} wordless - yet bug filled - wednesday. i'm not sure what kind of katydid this is, but it is indeed a katydid.i harassed the hell out of this katydid. out of the 23 pictures i took {yes, 23!} there were only three that were fit for sharing. of course, i should consider myself lucky because had i not been watering the butterfly bush i would have never known there was a katydid … [Read more...]
