Ornament

"Ornament" is the prompt for Creativity Boot Camp today. I went about the garden, but liked this picture of Saint Francis the best.

I need to sit down and spend some time with my journal. My web traffic has increased dramatically, which is taking up some time, and we got a new (used) washer and dryer, so I'm trying to catch up on mountains of laundry (can't use the clothesline when the rain never stops!).

Oh, and an FYI on the bug picture. I did some more research online last night and found out that I'd better contact the county extension office because my creature is some sort of wood borer. Not an Ash Borer (THANK GOD as we have a gorgeous Ash in the front yard that I'd rather not have cut down), but a bad invasive species nonetheless. Always something!

Catch Up Work

I found my camera! It was in with the diaper creams, which, logically, is where my camera should be. So I have some of my photo contributions for Creativity Boot Camp and will share others later. Enjoy!

So, a few notes:
:: The naked ladies are very heavy brass plated bookends that I found in Athens County, Ohio
:: I have absolutely no idea what this insect is. I used multiple insect guides and I think it's some sort of beetle, but I don't know. It's thorax reared up in the back and was the most beautiful blue. Tell me if you know the name of this mystery creature!
