May 3, 2016February 9, 2022 bigbertha

I planned on featuring something pleasant that would appeal to most tastes but these spider / fly photos caught my attention.  They were taken last year in my backyard. I don’t remember taking the photos – except I do recognize … Continue reading Unusual Taste

Ladybug Covered in Pollen

March 14, 2016February 9, 2022 bigbertha

This afternoon I planted myself near a flowerbed at the Dallas Arboretum.  My goal was to soak in the moment (a day off from work!), observe the plants and maybe spot something interesting to photograph. There it was.  A ladybug … Continue reading Ladybug Covered in Pollen

I couldn’t think of a better way to spend the day than taking Percival Sunshine out on a school field trip.  Here he is at a playground. Just look at his excitement on the slide! He didn’t even react when a … Continue reading Creepy Doll Field Trip

Creepy & Pretty

February 25, 2016February 9, 2022 bigbertha

My themes are all over the board and it’s getting worse as I develop new interests.  I like delicate lace embroidery, creepy ventriloquist’s dolls, insects, lost shoes and everything in between.   How to pick a theme for a photography blog? … Continue reading Creepy & Pretty

Mr. Liberty Wolfe

February 3, 2016February 9, 2022 bigbertha

What should I name my new creepy doll?  I toyed with different options.  Then traffic started backing up—I was somewhat grateful as it made it easier to navigate across multiple lanes.  And that’s when I had a realization.  I’m traveling … Continue reading Mr. Liberty Wolfe

Percival Sunshine!

January 29, 2016February 9, 2022 bigbertha

I spotted him at my favorite antique store in Dallas.  But my friend strongly advised against purchasing the doll.  In fact, very few friends and strangers supported me.  An informal poll I ran that day produced the following results: 15 … Continue reading Percival Sunshine!

September 21, 2015February 9, 2022 bigbertha

The other day I was cleaning and rearranging the house.  That’s when I found a Milk-Bone that Kibbles hid. When I gave it to her, I never imagined it would be the last Milk-Bone. Camera:  Canon EOS 5D Mark II … Continue reading I found a Milk-Bone

Party at the Prickly Pear Blossom!

May 12, 2015February 9, 2022 bigbertha

I can’t take all the credit for this photo.  My friend Tore spotted this bloom and alerted me.  He knows I specialize in photos with creepy crawlers.  (Admittedly, I’m probably the only one that likes them.  But I’m documenting nature … Continue reading Party at the Prickly Pear Blossom!
