Every day I come across photographs that are beautiful, startling, or funny. Sometimes - they are examples of fabulous photography but more often - they are photos of places or things I simply find appealing. And these days the effects are so good I cannot tell if a photo has been altered or enhanced. But if I like it, I like it. I decided to create a place where I could share them with other people. I should go on record saying - I think almost any kitten is a cute kitten, and I'm a sucker for a pretty flower. Oh, my name is BetteJo, I've been called a crazy cat lady, and I bead. Welcome!

I love vines at houses, though I guess you are right for it should attract a lot of insects and creeping things that give you the willies :P, I'd love to live in there anyway!

It IS really pretty - but I'm not sure I could live in it. Maybe I'm a little phobic!

Lucy - of course it's okay you stopped by - please come again. And you can't have your mug back, sorry. :)

Omigod. Creepers gone wild! I think some of those creepers may be lifting a roof tile or two.

oh yes, bugs heaven i should think - and not good for the building, all those tendrils drilling into the stone, though it does look very magical and cute. x

Eww! I never thought of that before! Still think it's gorgeous to look at, though... :D

I never thought about it either until I started trimming bushes outside my house and realized how many spiders like to build their webs in there - and if you look at any outside plant - you'll usually find a bug or two. Ee-e-e-w-w is right!
