Direction

I've been thinking long and hard about how I've not scrapbooked this year at all. I think I've made 2 pages. (besides the two I made this week)

It's time to figure out a direction. 

I've felt torn a lot.

Hadn't even used Photoshop as much since I fell head over heals in love with iPad apps. I now have 4 folders of them. A different one for 'cameras' and a different one for 'font type' apps. I should really weed a few out. The last trip I took to Amarillo I even left my big girl camera home (Gasp! I heard you.) Yes, and I got great pics to play with.

I would never give up my 'big girl' camera though.
Besides all that, I've been collecting mixed media art junk. What ever am I thinking!?!
One of my goals is to have an iPhone art show in this town. There, I said it. Now to outline a few steps to get there.
Instead of scraping a few things off my plate, I seem to keep adding. And they are all really good deserts. Maybe that's the problem. To many sweets, not enough meat.
The butterflies are migrating through so I've been on the look out. Here's who found their way to my zinnia's for a refreshing beverage. Some a bit tattered, such is life.

The black swallowtail put on a good show for me. I loved catching the little guys in flight.

I also found some mushrooms begging for attention.

And my zinnias are looking the best they have all summer. The butterflies seem to like them more than anything else. 

Linking up with Kim at Friday Finds and Nancy at Random Five Friday.

My random five:

Black Swallowtail

Clouded Sulfur

Fiery Skipper

Gulf Fritillary & Variegated Fritillary

Common Buckeye

Still hoping to spot some monarchs.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

I got a new car this year and it's taking forever to locate and figure out the darn windshield wipers. (It NEVER rains here.) You would think I am getting old or something! We had a good bit of rain for several days a few weeks ago and I thought I had it down good, but no.... today it was raining and once again I fumbled around trying to avoid turning on the back one. Of course it didn't help that I was trying to take a photo with my phone of the windshield at the time. See photo 3. Frames available from Coppercurls Designs. All photos taken of my phone or iPad. Apps used, Camera Plus, Pic Grunger, Instagram.
