 Here is this week's entry for Photo Friday. The topic is "critters". Found this guy in my garden a few weeks back. Did some research on the internet and found out that he was an Io Moth caterpillar... Isn't he beautiful though?

Last year I joined an on-line art community called deviantART and posted some of my pics in my personal gallery. It's a great community (even if the site loads a bit slow for non-subscribers) and with the arrival of my new camera, I have made an attempt to become active once again. Below are my latest submissions...
So what do you think??

I finally received my new camera, the Nikon CoolPix 5700. It's 5 MP, 8x optical zoom. I'm looking forward to learning how to use it. I did manage to snap a few shots last night but the sun was setting and the light in the house isn't that great.
Close-up of liatris spicata 'Kobold'.

Here is this week's entry for Photo Friday. The topic is "overlooked". I had a hard time thinking of what to do this week (hence it took me almost all week to post) but I finally thought of something often "overlooked". As a new gardener, I check my plants on almost a daily basis for new growth, new flowers, new bugs (both good and bad). In the past few weeks on several of my flowering plants I have come across small little tan-colored caterpillars. What is especially peculiar about these guys is that they like to camouflage themselves with tiny bits of the flower. They are extremely hard to see at 1st glance but upon closer inspection you finally see them. I've included two pictures below and if you click on the images you will go to larger resolution versions that give you a better look. Pretty neat, huh? Now if I can only figure out what they are and what they will become...
Can you see him pretending he's part of the flower?
Look near the bottom left edge of the flower.
He's on the top flower, near the bottom left edge.

 Today's theme is "dream". This can be interpreted in so many ways but I thought I would share with you what I dream of in the future... a flat in my favorite city of all time, Barcelona, Spain. Below is a picture taken from Parc Güell, a gorgeous park free to the public that overlooks the city and was designed by my favorite architect, Antoni Gaudí. Barcelona just has so much to offer - beautiful, unique architecture, the Spanish culture which is where my roots are based, great food (I love seafood) and a young, cosmopolitan population. Mix in old Roman ruins beneath the city and amazing Gothic architecture with cobble-stone streets and I am in heaven. Good thing too is that my husband shares my dream with me so it may become a reality when we are old and gray together!
