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!

Refraction - awesome!
I probably see this every day, but I could never make it look like this!
I love the smoothness and subtle colors of the stones.

What feelings does this picture bring up for you? For me - a specific day and unsettling fear. You?

Doesn't this look fabulous? I don't know how practical it really is, but it's nice to imagine looking at a star-filled sky while listening to the sea - while you lay your head down to sleep. Total relaxation.

Julian Beever is an English artist. This is some of his amazing work. All of these are done with chalk and are indeed, flat.
