'member that time when i said, "i wouldn't put a macro lens to good enough use to warrant buying one"? and since then i've needed a good macro lens about five times? yeah, story of my life.
i've been seeing these huuuuuge bugs flying around my courtyard, and i could have sworn they were dragonlions dragonflies. i managed to catch one this morning while taking zee out. it was a little too hyper, so i had to keep it in a jar, but i snapped some pics.
( +1 )
any idea what type of bug this is? the tail-end part moves around, and it looks as if there's quite possibly a stinger in there.
ETA: according to the trusty internet, this is a mud dauber, which is a type of wasp. (good thing i was touching it... gah!)

a copy of this print of mine will be up for raffle (i think) tomorrow night at the cash inn country. there's a fundraiser for the juvenile diabetes research foundation desert southwest chapter, and some awesome local drag kings & queens will be performing. the show starts at 7:30pm. try to make it out and support local charities!
ETA: i just found out that it's actually going to be up for auction, not raffle.

obligatory fireworks post.
( +15 more )
the fireworks is display is at the park across the street from my house. the benefit of this is being able to sit in my air conditioned bedroom watching the fireworks from the balcony while everyone else is sweating their ass off in 107 degree weather (yes, at 9pm).
some cool shots. nothing too fancy.

i found this crispy little dude in my parking lot this morning.
it's dead, the wings are broken & it's missing limbs. :(
not sure what sort of bug it is, but the wings shimmered gold in the sun.
it was actually quite pretty.

this sign cracked me up. i laughed really hard, and had to make sure to get a picture on the way back. if you had no idea that you were close to a city named 'surprise', what would you be thinking?
what are my options?
1) prison
2) surprise!
3) zoo
i'll take door #2!

i'm getting this printed up today to donate to a raffle that ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) throwzlikeagirl is having tonight. in july, she's taking a trip with her church to nicaragua, so she's doing a bit of fundraising to help fund the trip.
you know, it took me ages to come up with an image to print. this one was actually boygeorgina's idea.
this is a shot of a letter that my granddad sent to me shortly before he died. i know i've posted it here before, but it was a looooong time ago. in the letter, my granddad went on to talk about all the things he was appreciate of in his life, and the line in this shot says it best.... "the greatest gift of life itself".
i miss him dearly.
