Angryfroggyface

Moving has taken a lot out of me the last few months. I've been working, coming home, cleaning stuff, moving things around, shopping for things we forgot we needed, and generally organizing this new life. Its wonderful, but my oh my does that leave NO time for photos! So I need to compensate by taking pictures of all the new little nooks and crannies of my lovely little apartment :)

We'll start with with Angryfroggyface. Yes, that is his name. I've had him for a year now, and the first thing he did when I got him was to kill the other frog. Lovely, right? He would steal his food and my poor little Bubbles died of starvation... it was just awful. I was mad at him for the first few months after my first froggy died, and that's how the name Angryfroggyface was born. I still harbor some hard feelings towards the little guy, but when he humps the bamboo in his tank (as pictured) or tries to attack the goldfish through the glass or slams head first into his rock when trying to unnecessarily-aggressively eat his food.... I just have to laugh. As much of a jerk as he is, he does bring me many smiles!

Angryfroggyface, one of the colorful personalities in my aquatic creature crew!

Let it snow

I was late to work on this morning last week when I walked outside to find this. Had to run back to my house, grab my camera, and photograph it before the sun melted it away. I've never actually seen real snowflakes like this so close-up. Can I just say: YAY MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY!

Snowflakes lit by the rising sun. It may have been -3 degrees that day, but this is worth it.

For the Love of Color!

My favorite colors in the whole world come from peacock feathers. Its so hard to find color so brilliant, glowing, and vibrant anywhere else in nature. I have this little vase on my window sill full of peacock feathers, so I can see them when the sun hits. At any given time of the day, the feathers look different. Different lighting, different shadows - they really are the most fantastic colors you can find!

Even the ocean doesn't sparkle with as much vibrancy as a feather in the sun

So many colors!

For any new followers that I met at the show last night - thank you so much for coming & viewing my set, "Beauty in the Breakdown"! Anything you saw last night or here is available for print, and I'm always around to answer any questions. Just leave a me a comment :) Hope you enjoy!

Thingy?

Beautiful waterfall... with a thingy in it. I am not sure what it is, but because of my love for everything old and abandoned looking, I was very excited to capture this shot. My thought is that its something to do with water flow, and there used to be a building there. Anyone know what that thingy is?

Nameless

I call this nameless because, well, I have no idea what it is. Therefore this detailed piece of metal remains without a name. It was on an ancient building, and what I find most fascinating is that there are fingerprints on the metal. Those fingerprints are hundreds of years old. Amazing!

Click the image to get in reeeeeal close and see the fingerprints!

Old Man.

Not a REAL old man.
Though I'm sure a man similar to this once existed.
...he just wasn't spitting out a constant stream of water in a garden somewhere in NY ;)

Love the texture of this stone. So beautiful!

Beautifully Random

Two shots of things that weren't supposed to be there.

This was the only flower in sight, and the only one I've ever seen like it, anywhere!

Spicket to nowhere? This was an 8 story parking garage and the spicket is turned towards the 8 story drop!
