Creatures of the Planet

I am constantly astonished and entranced by the myriad forms of life on this planet. To quote one of my very favorite authors, Annie Dillard, in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, "the creator has pizzazz".

I hope to display a variety of animal images on this blog to delight us all. I have created many products featuring wildlife and pets for my Zazzle stores, Bebop's Place and Bebop's Weddings, using my original photographs and designs. I am also constantly amazed at the gorgeous animal products available from the rest of the Zazzle community. I am hoping others will enjoy this blog and even be moved to purchase some of these lovely items for gifts or just for the pleasure of having such beauty around.

This lovely 2013 calendar poster features the exquisite cabbage butterfly (Pieris rapae). She has stopped flitting around the garden long enough to perch on verbena flowers. She has a black body which does not show beneath her four white wings, each with a black dot at the center. The two upper wings have a black band at the tips. Her face is a pale green. What a lovely, delicate creature she is! CLICK HERE TO SEE THE ENTIRE 2013 CALENDAR POSTER COLLECTION
