Getting Buggy – Scavenger Hunt Sunday

This week had me working most of the week, but with a birthday party and some outside time I captured a few…including several bugs. Due to pure exhaustion today I’m forgoing my usual quotes with the images…but hope to return to them next week.

Mama’s looking for a new job – so I got interview ready. Feel special, I rarely do selfies.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Well I’ve done another huge time jump. I’ve been so insanely busy with writing that my photography sort of slipped away. I’m hoping it’s back to stay, but life is crazy and who knows where I’ll be next week. 😀

I’ve Missed You {Scavenger Hunt Sunday}

It has been far too long since I participated in SHS. I’ve missed it, and I’ve missed using my camera. I’m feeling a little rusty, but overall, I’m glad to be back and loving the photos I captured in the chaos of my week. I have so many more to share in coming days, but I limited myself for SHS. No quotes this week because it’s 2AM and I should be sleeping.

For the first time ever in all my visits the red pandas were awake – and people watching

The zoo was almost empty – and so my favorite people watching spot was devoid of people.
