FLUTTER: A Story in Photos by Rebecca Barray

/ Gerry Wilson / Leave a comment

I’m happy to welcome Rebecca Barray to The Writerly Life today!

Becca and I became cyber-friends through a platform challenge last spring, and we’ve been cheering each other on ever since. Becca happens to be a fabulous photographer as well as a fine writer. When I asked for guest posts recently and suggested I’d like a photo essay, she happily obliged. FLUTTER is the result. Enjoy!

Here’s Becca’s introduction to FLUTTER:

These pictures tell the tragic story of a dark female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly sipping nectar on a Blue Chip butterfly bush in my front garden.

Let Rebecca know you were here! She’ll be happy to respond.

Rebecca Barray is a stay home mother of three (four if you count her extremely child-like husband). She is a writer and spends her precious little spare time writing, learning about writing, and thinking about writing. She also likes to take pictures and show them off on her photo blog. 

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wrong

This is a photo taken last fall, when I had pansies and ornamental cabbages, among other things, in the pots on our deck. This little lady helped herself. She was a picky eater! I sat here and watched her nibble on a leaf and toss it, nibble on another and toss it. Finicky. But we let her have those cabbages.

Wrong? Or right to let her destroy the cabbage? You decide! (Cute, isn’t she–but they can be such pests!)

Weekly Photo Challenge: Round

This week’s photo challenge wasn’t hard.

A few days ago, I photographed this tomato and basil tart just before I put it in the oven. Beautiful, round tomato slices in the wider circle of pastry! (Those are Mississippi tomatoes from our local farmers’ market. Best in the world.)
