Fly Sky High!

I was so incredibly happy to get this shot! I'd been outside for a long time, surrounded by Carpenter bees (which are practically harmless, by the way, unless you step on one or grab one...), trying to get at least one of the spastic little guys in focus, let alone in view! I finally got that 'lucky shot' and captured this one, who had been following me around the whole time, hovering near me curiously.

I just love the way it silhouetted. It almost looks gigantic, too. If they were that big I'd be inside in a panic room calling the National Guard, not out taking pictures (although some people find the latter more important).

IDK?

 I have no idea how I managed to capture this, or what it even is. All I can remember is taking pictures while riding in the car through a city at night. I do know that I love the way it turned out and how mysterious it feels. The texture of the 'window' patterns looks as soft as velvet.

 No edits made. Used camera's prolonged exposure setting (AKA 'fireworks' setting).

Endless Break is Endless...

...but it's over now, no worries. I'm back! I was taking a sort of...mental vacation, if you will. The great thing about managing your own blog is that you get to name your hours. For me that means: Endless vacation opportunities whenever I want!

That might not be the case when I get a bigger following, though. Maybe when I get to college I'll have more opportunities to get my blog into the world. That's the plan! :)

Anyway, here's a picture that, for once, I chose at random from my albums.

Cats are one of the animal species very skilled in making human-like expressions. This girly, Rufus (we thought she was a boy at first, okay?),  is making an expression close to a smirk or a dare. To me she looks mischievous and adventurous, like she's saying, "Come on, Deylah, let's explore the mysteries of the forest!"
