When I saw this guy, I immediately thought of the toad from Hans Christian Andersen’s Thumbelina.   As a little girl, Thumbelina was one of my favorite stories.  I had the book and a 45 (not a gun – just vinyl), I’d crank up my record player and spend the afternoon listening to my favorite tales.
I love everything about butterflies because they tickle my imagination. Â As they flutter from blossom to blossom, I might get a glimpse of a fairy kingdom or catch sight of a killer hiding in the garden. Â Oh, the possibilities…
After racking my brain for the past couple of days, I’ve decided on my feature. Picture This. Â It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Â That being the case, they definitely have stories to tell.
Being a visual person, I often find my muse hanging out in unexpected places: a garden, an abandoned barn, or an alleyway. Capturing those images has become a hobby of mine.  Each Thursday, I’ll share a picture and include a quote, a caption, or background information.  And with any luck, your creative self will be inspired, too.
