Great news today! I've been accepted into PFATT, the best primitive and folk art group on Ebay! I really enjoy painting in a folk art style and can't wait to contribute to this wonderful group! Be sure to check out the PFATT blog and search for PFATT work on Ebay!
And what would a summer blog post from me be without some recent photos from my garden...
Finally snapped a photo of a lovely black swallowtail while I was out photographing my pendants.
Little finches getting a drink on a hot afternoon.
What in the world is this mushroom? I think it looks gross (I won't tell you what else I think it looks like).
ps. Thanks to Rebecca's comment we now know this is a stinkhorn mushroom - a dog stinkhorn to be exact! Thank you Rebecca!
Meemee resting in the cool grass.
And also some new pendants. One Halloween witch horse for Ebay...
I really like this owl and want to keep him for myself. For now, he's on Etsy...
Happy Sunday!

First thing that came to my mind on the mushroom as well :D Great photos though.
It is a common stinkhorn mushroom, the botanical name Phallus impudicus, which translates to "shameless penis." It shows up without warning, growing out of an egg-shaped mass in the ground to 10 inches long in less than a day, and then oozes a foul-smelling slime from its tip. We have them in our backyard and they sure surprised me when I first saw them! I have some great pics too but haven't posted them...
Congrats on the PFATT Jennifer, you certainly deserve the recognition! Love your photographs as always, you are such a talented photographer...whoa, that mushroom...erm, yowzas!
lol love the name of the mushroom, very fitting :p
that is a gorgeous shot of the butterfly :)
Ah Rebecca, THANK YOU so much! ;^)
I couldn't have come up with a better name my self. I was thinking goat penis but turns out upon further research, it's called a dog stinkhorn (tee hee).

That is soooo funny because I get those too in the yard! I always tell my husband "Is that a fungus or are you just glad to see me?". He doesn't think it is funny, but I do. :) Glad to know someone else has random fungal penis's showing up in their yard!
Welcome to PFATT JEN!!!! And I just love coming here to look at all your gorgeous pics!!! ANd I am sitting here laughing my you know what off at your mushroom pic!!! I had one of those growing too!!! Only our cap was missing. I saw that thing laying down in my mulch and thought it was a carrot! I thought........who threw a carrot down there? Well upon closer inspection, I could see it was some kind of fungi....and yes.....it stunk! Thank you for solving the mystery! =D
