Welcome to Bug's Mugs

Hello and welcome to Bug's Mugs. My name is June and my nickname was always "June Bug", I love photography - hence the name of my blog- "Bug's Mugs" I hope you enjoy my "mug" shots of all varieties. I especially love to take pictures of flowers, butterflies, and churches. I also love to photograph all kinds of nature. So relax, look around and I hope you enjoy my perspective of this beautiful world of God's creation through my camera lens. Feel free to comment on any of my photos.

Brenda's Photo Challenge - Weathered and Worn






These are some photos of what I consider old and weathered. The photos are of two of my neighbors here in Kansas. They are Albert "Speck" and Wanda Mann. Speck is 95 years old and still rides his horse in our annual 4th of July Parade here in Kansas. He belongs to the American Legion and is still an active member. His wife, Mrs. Wanda will be 93 June the 6th of this year. They are sweet people and I enjoy being their neighbor very much. The balance of the pictures are local landmarks, the Clark's barn and the Old Apache Road Bridge and also a picture of an old rusted out combine... It was ready to retire.... Just some local sites I thought you might enjoy. I sure enjoyed "Bug's Mugging" them!
