June Bugs Everywhere

In addition to Junie Moon, my friends and family have other nicknames for me—such as June Bug.

My friend Kristie saw a car yesterday that made her wonder if I’d made drastic changes to mine. It’s the same model Honda CRV I drive, except mine is green.

The owner modified the spare tire cover by adding dragonflies and inscribing “June Bug” across the bottom (click on the picture to enlarge for detail).

Just in case you want to know what a real June Bug looks like, I found a picture. As you can see, they are not at all attractive. The imaginative dragonflies are a much better choice.

I love that there is someone else in town obviously with the name June. And it’s wonderful how this mysterious but creative “June Bug” personalized her car this way, a fun DIY project that now I’m pondering how to emulate. As best I can tell, the decorative detail is hand-painted and embellished with glitter paint.

Although I’m not the owner of the clever June Bug car, I do have a Christmas wreath on my own car’s front grill.

It just goes to show that you can imbue your own personality into anything. Hmmm…perhaps a large spiral on the hubcaps using glow-in-the-dark paint?
