Vector Artwork / Contrary means: opposite in nature or character, and unfavorable or adverse – which i think are all quite fitting for yet another un-”sunshine and lolliepops” piece. At first glace, it does look all nice, and its really not! Consider a Dragon Snail good luck in your garden as it leaves a trail of diamonds, careful he doesn’t burn the place down. Excellent source for fire outdoors, favourite food: lotus flowers Found this one a bit more challenging for content – i still think it could use some more “groud cover” as plentiful as in: / I found Alice easier for ideas, as its a party, and there’s lots of things to have/take ;) / This one took around 2 days quicker, but is just in the garden…. perhaps some more garden impliments? it really needs more stuff, let me know if you have any ideas, and i’ll add them in. / Alternative Title: Mary mary why ya buggin’?

This honey bee on my Ceanothus in my back garden was so weighed down by pollen – and yet there always seems to be room for a bit more!

As per the title, this is a ‘Cairns Birdwing’ butterfly (male I believe). I loved the colour and also the fact that he’s actually quite large (think length of your hand from fingertip to wrist). Enjoy!

Oil Pastel and Acrylic Concept:Ophelia was visited by a vision of green lately. A vision where greenery abounds, away from the hustle and bustle of urban living. A place where she can finally call her own. / View other “Vision Of Green” creations in my Zazzle store:
Oil Pastel and Acrylic on old wood with slight digital enhancements Ophelia, puzzled by the radical transformation that had taken place overnight to this butterfly friend of hers, thought to herself, “She was in a white thread-like casing yesterday, how did all that happen so fast? There must be something magical about that case!” This is inspired by a book Hope For The Flowers by Trina Paulus. This is a cute and yet thought provoking story about two caterpillars who because they mistake the meaning of their urge to get high, get entangled climbing a horrible “caterpillar pillar”. And for two caterpillars, we all know, surrendering to the cocoon is the only way to finally fly. Hope For the Flowers is a book that celebrates HOPE. My fave lines from the book is “How does one become a butterfly?” She asked pensively. “You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.” We are all meant to be as beautiful and free like the butterflies, that’s our destiny…as we free ourselves to be who we really are…and together with our innate talents,we bring hope to the world around us, bringing change inevitably around us :D / You can view and buy my other “Metamorphosis” creations from my Zazzle Gallery:

I never thought I see a confrontation between a froglet and a fly, but here it is! Taken in our back yard garden pond during the summer of 2006 in Penrose, North Carolina by my hubby, Homer. Featured in the Fabulous Froggies Group – July 9, 2009!
Photographing these tiny creatures isn’t my style. However, while in my back garden with the camera, I saw this little fellow buzzing over the lavender bush. I extended the zoom to its longest focal length, closed in and shot him a few times. Except for a bit of cropping, this photo is being presented ‘as-is’.
