I created this calendar for Bebop's Place from photos of the lovely little creatures I see all summer. My garden is a world of light, color and movement. The flowers and vegetables shine with beauty...and the little creatures amaze me in their infinite variations of shape, form and action. I have tried to capture these lovely little beings with my photography and have compiled the best for this 2011 calendar. I hope you will join me in the marvelous land of the giant swallowtail, hoverfly, tiger swallowtail, damselfly, cranefly, least skipper butterfly, grasshopper, Aphrodite fritillary butterfly, polyphemus moth, honeybee, ruby meadowhawk dragonfly and bush katydid nymph.
Here is a lovely poster by sfcount. She says, "Digitally altered from my original painting of a cherry blossom branch, I've converted the image to shades of gray with just a touch of pink on the blooms. To the print, I've added a poem I wrote".
This Apache Blessing poster by The Shy Muse really moved me. Both design and words are lovely. Our interconnectedness with the beauty of Mother Nature is beautifully acknowledged in encouraging and caring words. Appropriate for many occasions--weddings, retirement, graduations, moving, anniversaries...any kind of turning point in life that garners well wishes.
