Summer Photos

Bumblebees, Finches and Sunsets

This is just a quick download of some summer photos. Not a lot of butterflies yet, and still holding out hope that a monarch will utilize the milkweed for her babies.

Head over to the Etsy store for both prints and digital downloads. Any matted photo can now be ordered in either black or white matting – just specify when you order.

Hope your summer is going well!

Fun photos for today

Is anyone else fascinated by buzzards (or vultures, whichever name you use)? These photos were taken in Wayne National Forest at Burr Oak Lake.

According to mythology, Zeus was angry with Prometheus for giving fire to humans. As punishment, Zeus chained him on a mountaintop where vultures ate his liver and flesh; each night he would be healed and endure it anew every day. Prometheus was finally rescued after a dozen generations by Hercules.

(Some versions use eagles instead of vultures but obviously only one fits my photos.)

That would seem to be where vultures get the symbolism of death, rebirth, and purification. Patience and protection are additional symbols.

The new shop on the website has just launched. I’m slowly adding products, but for now it has a few digital downloads ready to purchase and print yourself.

Obviously, this photo is not at Burr Oak Lake. Just a pleasant blue ocean scene from a beach on Kauai.

Have a fantastic day!

A small selection of new photos

Eventually I’ll get them all off my cameras, but if you know me you know I take way too many. I promise I’ll have all the eclipse photos done soon!

As always, if you’d like a print of any of these let me know. They’ll get to my Etsy shop eventually.

Have a great day!
