This lovely poster available at Bebop's Place features a young woman sitting and dreaming on the dock at the edge of a large pond. Autumn is in the air. The water is surrounded with trees in gorgeous fall foliage colors of yellow, green, red, orange and gold. The blue sky has fluffy white clouds and all this is reflected in the water. The trunk of a large pine tree defines the left side. The brilliant sunshine is reflected in her red hair.
Isn't this gorgeous? I really love this Greek Sundial Fractal Ornament by Fractured Life.
This delicate and artistic mousepad by PR Prints features a macro-focus photograph of small white flowers bursting forth from a small twig, still in the process of opening its leaves to the spring sunshine.
Welcome to Bebop's Place
Beauty has been defined as "The quality that gives pleasure to the mind or senses and is associated with such properties as harmony of form or color, excellence of artistry, truthfulness, and originality." Since our responses are totally subjective, I can only speak to what moves me.
I want to share the beauty! I have created a variety of floral products for my Zazzle stores, Bebop's Place and Bebop's Weddings, using my original photographs and designs. I am also constantly amazed at the gorgeous floral products available from the rest of the Zazzle community. I am hoping others will enjoy this blog and even be moved to purchase some of these lovely items for gifts or just for the pleasure of having such beauty around.

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.

I live at the edge of a small pond and spend lots of time in all seasons seeking its beauty. I compiled this calendar for Bebop's Place with some of my favorite photos of the pond.
Enjoy the many facets and moods of a pond in upstate New York. This 2011 calendar will take you through the seasons of the year with landscapes and details of the pond's flora and fauna. Photographic styles range from realism to abstraction.
I saw this exquisite poster yesterday in Pariseau's Market and just fell in love with it! Frost crystals are growing along the edge of Boston Ivy leaves on a cold November morning.

Brighten your life or give this as a gift to someone special. This glorious binder available from Bebop's Place features a collection of waterlily dahlia blossoms in a colorful design of red, pink, yellow, white and mauve. This could be used in so many ways. Store your favorite photos, keep a journal, compile recipes, take it to school...use your imagination! You can add text to the spine or leave it blank.
Here is a lovely floral thank you postage stamp by Kayatiyu. Cheerful yellow tulips are highlighted by a ray of sunlight, as the sun breaks through on a stormy spring day. From the original acrylic artwork titled “Yellow Tulips” © Sandy Long.

It's the last day of September today and raining cats and dogs. There is a flash flood watch in effect till late tonight. So I am staying inside making tomato sauce. I have a huge pot cooking on the stove.
I was out in the rain, which has its own beauty, and saw that even more dahlias are opening which brought to mind this binder I made for Bebop's Place. Customize the text on this brilliantly colored binder to suit your needs (or delete the text for a simple black spine). A profusion of dahlias spill across the front and back in shades of gold, yellow, red, pink, blush, cream and white. Petals seem to glow in the sunshine.
What a great California Poppy postcard bySKHDesigns. Send this brilliant splash of orange off to a friend today. The California Poppy is brilliant enough to brighten anyone's day and a note from you will make it even better!
This brilliantly colored postage stamp by Carnival of Colour features the beautiful morning glory in full bloom.

It is sunny and pleasantly warm today. My dahlias are finally looking good (after being stressed by the unusually hot, dry summer) and frost warnings are up for Sunday night! I took this photo of a bouquet of 5 different dahlias. I think it came out nicely as a dramatic pattern in autumn colors of deep red, orange and gold on a black background arranged to create an almost abstract design. The poster is available from Bebops.
I think this is a gorgeous mousepad by CheyBaby Designs. A plethora of pansies cover the area with their flowering glory.
What a lovely design by Kayatiyu! A mass of chamomiles creates a pleasing floral design on cheerful Keds garden shoes. An attractive, fun design, perfect for garden parties or outdoor adventures. Available on other shoe styles including mens and kids. From a watercolor sketch titled “Chamomiles”, © Sandy Long.

The autumn foliage is really taking over as the chief eye-catcher around here. This is not a flower photo but it was taken just outside my garden. I spotted this tiny bird and put him on a poster for Bebop's Place. I added a filter to soften the lines.
This poster features a lovely little goldfinch perched on a branch, surrounded by brilliant autumn foliage. He is as small as the leaves of the ash tree and actually blends in to form an abstract composition of red, orange, green, yellow, black and white.
Now to some flowers...
Splash some summer fun into someone's day with this bright butterfly flower card by Scruff Shop! Created from an original hand drawn illustration, the design features a funky flower surrounded by happy hearts and butterflies, in vibrant tones of pink, orange, sunshine yellow and baby blue.
Here is an exquisite note card by Octopus Love with yellow flowers on a brugmansia tree. Brugmansia are trees also known as Angel's Trumpets, because of the large trumpet-shaped flowers which can grow up to 20 inches long. These flowers come in a variety of colors, including white, yellow, pink, orange and red. They have a delicate scent with lemon overtones, which is quite striking in the early evening. Although beautiful, Brugmansia plants contain poison, which can be fatal if ingested.
