Theses awesome images are by NatureIsArt . Just like his shop name suggests, nature really is art and this etsy seller does a great job of crisply capturing nature's majestic creatures. You'd almost think they posed for him. If you love nature, and want to incorporate it into your decor, I'd suggest picking up some of these prints.

Another unique way to use photos- Photos by Alexis . Let her turn your family name into a photographic work of art. Each letter is represented by a photo of an object. These are so cool!

Just sharing some photos that my hubby, nephew, and I took at my parents' last month. These little creatures intrigue me. I chased these guys for a long time trying to get some decent shots. They were very active and did not want to sit still.

This Friday's focus is on one of my favorite subjects- photography. I love to look a photographs that tell a story or evoke some emotion. I love it when the photographer has a unique sense of style and conveys that in their photos. That's just what JoannBristol does. From Wilmington, North Carolina, she claims to be a self taught photographer. I hope to learn this art one day myself. I hope I do as good a job as she did. Her coastal photos are beautiful to look at and have a wonderful calming effect. Head on over to etsy and check her out!
