After two days of rain, the fungi came up everywhere! Some are big, and some are little! Some were perfect while others were tattered. Nevertheless, I love looking at them as each one has its own unique

I was very lucky yesterday when it was pouring rain every few minutes. I was visited by a sweet wet sparrow, and then this gorgeous dragonfly on my deep orange African daisy! I think the wings were a bit

For me, summer is the best time to wander around, looking for things to shoot, and nothing is better than when butterflies stop by for a long visit. This painted lady was my best model! She went from

It is raining on and off all day long today! When the rain took a quick break, I went out on the deck and this sweet wet sparrow stopping by to visit me. As I was still wondering if I should snap a photo,

I shot this photo on the shoreline of the reservoir at my sister's home in Ohio. There is something about this picture that I really love. The serenity, the peaceful resting, the reflection, the water

My purple coneflower is coming, slowly, and smaller this year than last! At this stage the petals are not developed and still greenish-white, which makes it perfect for sepia tone. Text and Photo @IcyBC

Outside my living room window, there is this tree with berries and my son spotted a bird nest last month. We watched the mother devoting her time sitting on it for a while. The nest is pretty deep in the

Most of you have guessed that I am making a blanket, and you are absolutely on point! My daughter loves handmade items and has asked for a blanket. At first, I flatly turned her down because I worried

I just like the effect of this African daisy in black and white. The pink color in the middle of the petals really stood out. You can see the original photo of this African daisy here! Text and Photo @IcyBC

Some times, the sunset can be very dreamy! The colors of sky are so much softer and more calmer in my mental thinking. Maybe because the day was winding down for me and my body was getting ready for a

When time is short, I like to throw together something quick, but tasty, and complete in nutrition for my kids. This is my go-to dish and it satisfied everyone in the house. Text and Photo @IcyBC All Rights

Sparrows, like squirrels, are plenty around here! They can eat, and they always are at my feeders. I love watching them, but some time, I would prefer them to leave some seeds for other birds too. Text

I notice this face of the tree while I wanted to take a picture of the yellow flower in front of it. Since it was really windy, the tree itself was in focus instead. It is a bit spooky but I love the texture

This is one of the flower from a cut of succulent that my daughter sent to me for Mother's Day. It survived the long journey in an envelope and was happily blooming once I put it in the soil! The little

One of my favorite places to just sit and relax is near the water. This was the ocean sighting when I visited my sister in California two years ago. I love listening to the wave and feel the wind on my

There are many rabbits/bunnies in the neighborhood these past two weeks. I think it is the season for them to flourish and multiplied. It is fun watching them running around and prancing about. They usually

These tiny white flowers carry a soft and beautiful scent, and they came in a bag of mixed wild flowers that I got earlier in the fall. So far from that bag I got these white blooms and the Purple Flower.

#needworkmonday is hosted by @crosheille I have three skeins of one-pound yarn, and I just want to do something with them. Since the migraines taking somewhat control of my life, I haven't found the energy
