When Prince Edward commissioned the historic Halifax Town Clock in 1803 to promote punctuality among the British military garrison, little did he know that one of his subjects & his Russian wife would be sleeping in until noon Rob Costello ⏰🥱🤣

Very excited to share that both of my images of this incredibly unpredictable, tiny, tricky, fast and whimsical hummingbird clearwing have received an honorable mention in the 6th Annual PA Pollinator Photo Challenge!

I can wake up to these sunrises with you every morning Rob Costello except we tend to sleep in until noon! 🥱😂 Our Nova Scotia trip was one for the books, with lots of different types of scenery, lots of different types of cuisine, & lots of different types of recycling FOR SURE. Whatever it is that's making Canadians smile all the time, I want some. But hey, if I could stroll along the harbor with one of 50 flavors of delicious ice cream while looking over Georges Island, drive an hour to Peggy's Cove and Mahone Bay to stroll along some more jaw dropping scenery while eating some more of that ice cream, I'd be smiling too. 🇨🇦⛵

I just dropped off two more recent pieces at DaddyO's Restaurant & Chef Du Jour Catering to replace the couple that had found new homes! Next time you're enjoying your meal, take a look around and see if you recognize any of the places. All of my artwork currently for sale depicts our beautiful Pennsylvania. Thanks for all of the support! ❤️🖼️

I finally picked my 3 entries for the pollinator photo challenge. The monarch is one of my best shots of this species, for which light, angle and blurred backdrop all aligned perfectly for a tack sharp image. The hummingbird clearwing is easily the most challenging insect to freeze in motion due to its tiny size and fast, erratic flight. A win would be nice, but that's not why I push myself.🦋📷

August is carrying July's torch of scorching heat, but that hasn't stopped me from visiting one of my favorite local butterfly spots. Which do you prefer?

I'm quite pleased with this rendition of Fenwick Lighthouse which we passed on our way back from Ocean City, MD. What do you think?
