I had no idea of the number of different types of butterflies until I read Flowers with Wings — A Collection of Butterfly Photos from NightFire Publications. Sure, I realized there were several. But some of the varieties are unbelievably intricate and unusual. For instance, the Indian Leaf Butterfly, when it’s wings are closed, looks like… well, a leaf. But when it opens its wings, you see this gorgeous, iridescent blue and gold and purple winged creature that is absolutely stunning. The change is incredible!
If you like butterflies or just colorful photos, you’ll thoroughly enjoy this ebook. It would actually do well as a coffee table book with all its bright colored photographs and short verses and quotes relating to butterflies. I’ve browsed through many coffee table books that couldn’t compare for quality and interest.

I love photography books, because the images inspire my photography, I love the photography tips, and some of the best books (in my opinion) have a story behind the images.
The Flowers With Wings digital photography ebook by Deborah Carney and Vinny O’Hare is a peaceful book that I found myself flipping through slowly. It’s perfect for someone who loves butterflies and at $4.99, it’s an affordable gift and stocking stuffer. What I love about the book is that it inspired an addition to my Photography Bucket List. I caught a portion of a documentary about the Monarch Butterflies and thought it would be amazing to capture a portion of their migration in South America. Until I get my act together and get my passport, I think I’ll visit a local butterfly exhibit and see what I can capture.

I like weird stuff. If something can be described as strange or bizarre, there’s a good chance that I’ll like it at least a little bit. So, when I read the description of Weirder Than Marshmallows- “Stories that are, like marshmallows, strange, mind boggling… hard to explain, impossible to ignore”- it appealed to me.
Weirder Than Marshmallows contains true stories and essays by the author, Dan Fogg. Most of the essays are humorous, but some are more serious and personal. Much of the humor is based on human stupidity. Fogg addresses topics such as seemingly unnecessary warning labels (i.e. “highly flammable!” on lighter fluid), technological malfunctions, and people who don’t know the difference between “lose” and “loose”- that’s a pet peeve of mine, so I can relate! The more serious essays deal with issues such as the aftermath of Columbine and the 2000 Presidential elections.

As everyone knows I love to read. I love to read books about everything and anything. When asked to review Weirder than Marshmellows, I was amazed to learn the author is disabled (just like me)! I was also saddened to learn that the author had passed away, meaning this would be something I would truly treasure because I wouldn’t be able to read anything more by Dan Fogg!
The reason I was drawn to this book is because not only is it full of funny (TRUE), interesting, and abnormal stories but because it gave Dan’s account of living life in a wheelchair. It gave his honest approach to life as a person with a disability, his message is simple “Everyone would like to be included and treated like a human being” (my words not his).
I truly believe this book would be great for any person, it make lights of several things that people think but rarely speak about.

I recently had the chance to review this book published by NightFire Publications. This book is a great easy read about those little things in life that are like “duh”. . . In the book it says “Weirder Than Marshmallows showcases tales of stupidity and ignorance in the hopes of making people laugh.”
Once I started to read this I couldn’t put it down. It was so funny reading some of the stories in the book that I found myself busting out and having my kids give me a strange look. Some of the things written are like “DUH” or “DINK DINK DINK, we have a winner”. It’s those stories you hear online or see on TV that just makes you think about what were they truly thinking when this happened.
I love reading books like this that just real easy reads that I can pick up through out the day and it doesn’t matter how long it was since the last time you read it, you can pick it right back up. I would recommend this book as just one of those funny little books that would be great to read anytime or anywhere.

Flowers with Wings
A Collection of Butterfly Photos
Pages: 28
Format: Ebook [Kindle Edition]
I had the opportunity to review Flowers with Wings from Nightfire Publications which is a really neat compilation of butterfly pictures with Psalms, poems and quotes. The REALLY NEAT thing is that each picture has the actual name of the butterfly listed! My ds15 LOVES butterflies so we can even use this as a homeschooling tool. BONUS!
These photos are absolutely breathtaking! And the verbiage underneath is inspiring. I really enjoyed this ebook!

What a beautiful photo book. In Flowers With Wings (Kindle Edition) you will find 26 beautiful photos of butterflies, each with it’s own inspirational quote about butterflies. I personally love butterflies and am a huge fan of quotes, so I was blown away with this opportunity to review a book about two of my favorite things. The most calming and peaceful things in the world, butterflies are very majestic, is it any wonder fairies have butterfly wings?
Butterflies truly are beautiful creatures and that beauty is captured time and time again throughout the 28 pages of this eBook.
My favorite quote from the book is:
Happiness is a butterfly,
which when pursued,
is always just beyond your grasp,
but which, if you will sit down quietly,
may alight upon you.
~ Nathaniel Hawthorne, 1804-1864 ~

Most people who read this blog, don’t know the significance of the butterfly to me personally. I always have loved butterflies, they are free, they fly, and they change. They are truly to me what represent the cycle of life. I had a best friend once, who loved butterflies, and now when I think of her I see yellow butterflies. I know my favorite color is yellow, and before her passing her favorite thing was butterflies … I know when I see a yellow butterfly, it’s her letting me know she’s still with me.
When I was asked to review Flowers with Wings, I got excited. Not only do I love photography, but I love and adore butterflies. I started out by uploading it to my computer and you can purchase it too and upload it to yours! I then sat back and started looking at the photos. I truly enjoyed that the book had quotes along with the photos.
