Inspired by Nature

I have been spending a lot of time outside working in my garden this past week.  I have set my mind to making my outdoor space inviting, comfy & pretty to look at.

Suffice to say it is hard manual labor but the end result is always amazing. . . . 

{kind of like birthing kids, dontcha` think?}

All that hard labor doesn't leave a whole lot of time to tend to the blog & fun craft things. . 

sooooooo being inspired from my work outdoors, I have decided to share some pictures I have take over the past couple of years of the natural beauty around me everyday!

take a look & enjoy. . . . 

fragrant beautiful rose in my back garden

Mr. Froggy-who was apparently lucky with that tiny clover stuck to his head!

pretty blue dragonfly sunning himself

Dragonfly - yes I was stalking the dragonflies on this day

Gorgeous butterfly -Waco Tx.

Rose in my garden

My own personal Charlotte's Web

Little Lady Bug-she looked a little beat up from her travels

My own "angry Bird" doesn't this Cardinal look like a meanie?

And this creature let me take about 50 pictures of it....I was very captivated by its huge butt & the sheer hairiness of it

Sunset on Redbud Dr

The Waco Lizard that looked as if he couldn't be bothered

Mr. Snake crossing the path-I was astonished I got the shot with him flicking his tongue!

The Little Crescent moon....love summer nights

I hope some of my nature shots inspire you to take in what nature has to offer & be in awe of its beauty.

Why, hello Mr. Man in the Moon!

For those of you that may have missed it because of cloud cover or just because you weren't in the loop, My son & I took some great pictures of the "Supermoon" event from this past Saturday

You can read about it here

Isn't it so big & beautiful?

 My son & I are fascinated with celestial events like this

{I really need to get that kid a high power telescope}

As you can see, he was all about it!! i-pad out & all!

 we were out there for quite a bit just watching the moon do his thing!

the darker it got right at dusk the more orange the moon got!

So AWESOME!

 I am SO PROUD of this picture!

I have waited for so long & have taken I don't know how many pictures trying to get a shot of 

the moon like this.

Maybe it was because it appeared so close to the earth that helped me out. . . whatever it was, 

I am so grateful! because I LOVE this picture!

You can see the face.....Hi Mr. Man in the Moon!!!!

 this one is slightly more clear & a little more orange

 The higher in the sky it got the less orange it got. . . but man, it was SUPER bright~

{hence the "supermoon"}

 It was so bright it lit up the tree in my front yard & made this fantastic shot

It really was a super moon & I am glad I got to see it & take great pictures but most of all I am glad I got to share the moment with my son who now says he WILL go to the moon one day!

Dream to the moon little man! Dream to the "Supermoon"
