K DUNLAP > 06.07.09 = Get ready for some butterflys this week!  Yesterday we went to the Butterfly Show at Krohn Conservatory here in Cincinnati, Ohio.  It's an annual show here and a must see. You enter an enclosed area and all the butterflys just fly around you.  They have all their favorite plants for them and they just land at will.  Quite the photo opp, but you all know what it's like photographing a butterfly!   I thought this one was a great way to start the week!

Sorry, I'm a few days behind on everyone's posts.  Can't wait to see what everyone's been up to the past few days.
K DUNLAP > 07.05.09 = I'm not a big fan of clowns; they kind of freak me out.  This guy was part of the parade on Saturday and when he saw me with my camera he posed so nicely,,,, he was so cute.  I probably will reget posting this one, because it will freak me out a little each time I see it. It's Monday, hope everyone has a great week.

K DUNLAP > 08.01.09 = "Mom!  Kris is doing it again!!!"  
Yes, I used to pester my sisters growing up.  I was the one, "I'm not touching you..."  But growing up, my mother "made us" get along.  If we got in a fight, she would make us sit on the step until we worked it out.  We were never allowed to stay mad at each other.  Today, we are each other's best friends.  I talk to at least one or two of my sisters every day.  I love you Kelly, Kim and you too Kasey!  

"I smile because you are my sister, I laugh because there is nothing you can do about it!"
K DUNLAP > 10.20.09 = Ahhhhhhhh, Coffee!  I've been drinking coffee since I was little. Our Grandmother, Mimi use to fix us coffee when we went to visit her at the country house. She put so much cream and sugar in it that it tasted like sweet milk.  It didn't matter, we thought we were so cool drinking coffee like the adults.  There was coffee on the stove all day too. Now, I'm not one of those fancy coffee drinkers, no *$'s for this girl, I prefer Dunkin, or I PERK it myself.  Yes, that's right, PERK.  No drip coffee in this house.  If you're passionate about your coffee, pick up a perkulator. You will enjoy the difference.  
So what's  your brew?  Are you a fancy coffee drinker or a hard core french press type??

K DUNLAP > 05.28.09 = I promise, this is my last dandelion post!  I just had to post the different stages.  Now, before you start pulling these fuzz balls and yellow dots out of your gardens and yards, did you know that dandelions have antioxidant properties and there are a host of things you can make from dandelions, such as WINE, jelly, facial srubs....

Well, after all my ranting this week about weeds and how we don't appreciate them, I have to admit, they are still an eye sore in my garden and yard and I must confess, I just bought a big bottle of Round-Up.
K DUNLAP > 08.19.09 = IT'S IRRESISTIBLE!!!  It says so right on the carton; Graeter's Ice Cream!  This is a local, family operated ice cream company that has been around since 1870.  It's a 4th generation run business!  The Black Raspberry Chocolate Chunk is a famous favorite.  Oprah put it on her "Favorite Things" list a few years ago, and there was a 4 month waiting list to get it.  Sarah Jessica Parker, is from Cincinnati, and when ever she finishes with a movie shoot, she has Graeter's brought in for the entire crew.  You can order it online at http://www.graeters.com/

K DUNLAP > 07.15.09 = Okay, call me crazy, but as I have gotten older, I really like getting up early in the morning.  It seems to be that time of the day that is quite and has a pure peacfulness about it.  No blackberry buzzing yet, no phone ringing, no "dong" of email.   Morning reminds me of the innocence of childhood.  Hey, I think I'll use that as my quote today.

K DUNLAP > 06.28.09 = Gracie and her Chicken.  This little girl is in love with this rubber chicken. By the way, it squeeks!  I have to make sure she hasn't carried it upstairs to bed.  Nothing like waking up at 2:30am to a squeeking chicken!  I had to post this one today, Monday, to get me going.  Hope it brings a smile to your face as well. 

Thanks for all the comments on my Lexington shot yesterday.  Yes, those are stables for horses.  Crazy uh?
K DUNLAP > 06.08.09 = I chased these blue morpho butterflys all around trying to get a photo of that amazing blue.  When they would land, the outside of their wings, is just brown.  They looked more like a pretty moth.  Finally, one landed and opened it's wings as if to say, "I'm ready for my close-up!"

Thank you everyone for your comments yesterday.  I really love this butterfly series this week.  This series was all shot with my 100mm macro lens.  (I love that lens)
