**If you are in the Chicago area, stop by my booth and say hello tomorrow, Saturday, June 22nd at North Aurora’s Art and Craft Show, Creativity at the Crossroads (25 E State St, Aurora, IL). I’ll be selling my framed photos and books.

My son, artist Joseph Cannella, will also have a booth right next to mine.

  7. Ronit Penso Tasty Eats

    Beautiful! Wonder who gave it this name, and why? 🙂

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Good questions, Ronit! At least the blue part is evident in the name.

      1. Ronit Penso Tasty Eats

        lol Yes, that’s the part that is more obvious! 🙂

    Beautiful Picture.

    Good Luck to you and your son tomorrow. Wishing you lots of Success.

    Hope to catch you at the next show..

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you, Willie. It certainly wasn’t profitable. The attendance was low and people walked around like zombies from the heat. I love the experience of shows, but this one was a lot of work. At least my son and daughter-in-law were also there which made it fun.

  9. SiriusSea

    Agreed ❤ !! Have a wonderful show and love to you and your son !! 🙂

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you, dear Sirius. I appreciate you.

      Thank you, Carol Anne. You too!

  11. Looking for the Light

    We don’t have the extra long ones but have blue and green dragonflies, they are so fun to watch.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Glad you like them, Melinda. I’m fascinated about all that goes on around us.

      1. Looking for the Light

        How did the weekend booth go?

        1. Mary K. Doyle

          Not very well, Melinda. It was a lot of work with little-to-no profit. The weather was too hot and humid. Few people attended. I got great feedback from those who came, but then as far as actual purchases . . . Thank you for asking, my friend.

          1. Looking for the Light

            You tried which is what counts, now you know the summer time is too hot and not profitable.

          2. Mary K. Doyle

            Outside booths are always tricky. Than you for supporting and caring, Melinda.

          3. Looking for the Light

            I’m here for you!

          4. Mary K. Doyle

            I appreciate you, dear friend.

  12. Amy

    Beautiful dancer, I love it!

      Thank you, Amy. I appreciate your support.

    A cool image, I’m generally not the biggest fan of insects but this one is beautiful.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thanks, Pooja. Tiny dancer, as the song goes.

        Ah yes, I love that song.
