My Top 5 Most Popular Pins on Pinterest

I'll admit it, I'm a Pinterest addict. For those who aren't familiar with the site, Pinterest.com is a website that allows users to create virtual bulletin boards with their favorite websites and pictures, and view the boards that others have created. When someone "repins" something that I have pinned on one of my boards, Pinterest lets me know with a notification.

Here are my pins that are the most popular for others to repin:

There they are! It's interesting to me to see which ones turn out to be the most popular. The seashell candle holder is often repinned and I don't really even like it anymore. What about you? What are the top 5 repins from your boards?

Seen on Maui! - Island Plants and Animals

I am in Maui this week and loving it! Everything here is so incredibly beautiful. I enjoy taking pictures of plants and animals. Here are a few photos that I have taken so far. I will post a Part 2 later in the week. ♥ Haley

 Java Sparrow - Lonchura oryzivora

 Double shot - two in one! I didn't notice the little guy at the bottom until after I was zooming in to take the picture.
 Bird of Paradise - Strelitzia reginae
and
Gold Dust Day Gecko - Phelsuma laticauda
(I really like this gecko's name)


Hibiscus - Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 
I need to take a better picture; it's really a pretty flower


Bougainvillea Tree - Bougainvillea arborea

Sonoran Carpenter Bee - Xylocopa sonorina
I thought this was some kind of flying beetle until I noticed it was going from flower to flower collecting pollen.

Hibiscus (possibly Hawaiian Sunset variety) - Hibiscus rosa-sinensis

House Gecko - Hemidactylus frenatus

Infographic: Title Capitalization

I love infographics! I was searching for a simple list of words that shouldn't be capitalized in titles, but couldn't find one. It occurred to me, "That sounds easy enough, I should just make one!" So here it is folks.


If you are interested, I used the website infogr.am to make it, and it took me around five minutes. The website is free to use, but if you want to download a quality image of your infographic, you need a "premium" (read: paid) subscription. I'll be searching for a program that is free and produces a higher resolution image. If you know of one, please leave me a comment!
