“Diamonds are nice and so are pearls,
but there’s nothing like us pretty girls” (unknown quote)

This quote was submitted  by Le Drake Noir  in the comments section of my post from February 2, 2013 titled “For Your Love”

It has inspired my series of Pretty Girl Posts, so all “Pretty Girl” posts are dedicated to Le Drake Noir.

Sea Bugs?

I was in the lane behind 445 River Avenue in Winnipeg. I was shooting the centered piece of Graffiti Art, but when I saw a giant bug I ran for cover.

Fence #2

I was frozen with fear as I heard Sherrie (My Official Driver and Photographer)  shout, “Hold it! Don’t move! That’s It! Got it!” I was sure she’d slain one.

Not that it’s less creepy, but now that I look at them they might be Ocean or Sea Bugs?

This is not the best shot I took of these Rainbow Beauties that grace Rainbow Stage, but I inadvertently captured their reflections in a puddle. I love it!
