A Hoarder in the Bug Community
I noticed a fuzz ball moving on a leaf. It wasn’t the breeze causing the movement. It was definitely moving on its own. As I looked closer, it looked like there could be bark on the moving fuzz ball… and are those dead bodies? But what is it? Continue reading A Hoarder in the Bug Community
Chaos & Hope
I started this piece a few months ago but had a mental block. Last night the spark of ideas flowed so I pulled out the spray paints, leftover embroidered butterfly and assorted whatnots to complete the piece. Continue reading Chaos & Hope

Unit 70 at the LBJ National Grasslands
There are wildflowers and grasses swaying in the wind. You can see signs of possible erosion or perhaps wild boar have been causing the damage. Butterflies … Continue reading Unit 70 at the LBJ National Grasslands
Litter Patrol
Here are highlights from a couple recent Litter Patrols. All this trash was picked up in one area that I intentionally will not disclose. But if you follow this blog, you know where it is. 😉 There’s something to be said … Continue reading Litter Patrol

I got angry
I had a visceral reaction when I looked at the cement barricades. What disgusting, abhorrent, crude behavior. Someone spray painted obscenities on the cement barricades at ‘my’ LBJ National Grasslands. There were beer cans and other trash left in the … Continue reading I got angry
Dumped
I can’t tell you where I was when I took these photos – mainly because I’m not sure of the location. It was a detour / adventure on the way to somewhere else. Maybe somewhere near Rockwall, Texas. I didn’t … Continue reading Dumped
Random Button
I worked hard to select a photo that didn’t include a bug or insect for today’s blog post. Behold, the humble button! The button was spotted at my newest favorite place – Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve. As … Continue reading Random Button
Passion Flower Crown
I have a Passion Flower vine I’ve written about in the past. I have a love-hate relationship with it because it has taken over the backyard. But it’s also so pretty and fragrant. The butterflies are a bonus. But if … Continue reading Passion Flower Crown
Letters!
The day I took these photos I was on a mission to photograph something unusual to use as my homework assignment for class. I figured close-up shots of random “stuff” would work well. When I downloaded the photos I noticed … Continue reading Letters!
Rubbish as Art: Cardboard Box
I was filling the car up with gas after work and noticed a box by the gas pump. It’s not the typical trash you see – usually there are soda cans or food wrappers but not a box of tomatoes. I liked the contrast of colors against the pavement and thought I might as well take a photo (or two.. or three) while I wait for the tank to fill up. This also begins a new category I call, “Rubbish as Art.” Here are the results of the Rubbish as Art series: Tips: A couple years ago I was … Continue reading Rubbish as Art: Cardboard Box
