Stopped by Trader Joe's yesterday morning to do a little grocery shopping and wound up buying myself some flowers. Seriously, how could I pass up a bunch of sea spray roses for $3.99. And the orchid, $12.99!!! <-- yeah, I'm that excited. I'd been eyeballing the selection at Joe's for a while...ever since the store opened over a year ago, actually. But none of them spoke to me like this one.
The ride home was glorious!
i'm really enjoying the sunny weather and photographing the plants in my neighborhood. i'd say the hardest part has to be all the crouching i've been doing to get the shot but it's worth it. my legs get a good workout, and i get to see things from a different perspective.
and with all the squatting, i'm starting to notice more things on the ground and photographing "found" objects too. well, some of it's just litter which really irks me, but some of things i find are interesting because i wonder how they got there.
a couple of weeks after i photographed my first close-up of a bee, i had the chance to do it again while i was out walking around the neighborhood.
last week, i made it a point to redeem my sony points for a point-and-shoot camera. talk about a lot of points. anyway, i picked one, the DSC S700. i really didn't have much of a choice and wanted to use my points because they were going to expire soon. i was telling my brother about the camera this weekend and how it doesn't have a view finder, but for my point range, it was the only one i could pick. i was eyeballing a mini stereo but having a backup camera seemed like a better option.
so we get to talking a little more and he tells me that the LCD screen is going to drain my battery life (which i already knew), but then he asks, "oh, what kind of battery does it use?" he pointed out the one detail i manged to overlook--the battery type. it totally slipped my mind to make sure the camera uses a rechargeable battery. i really don't like the idea of having to buy a bunch of batteries and now i'm wondering if i should try and sell it, or should i give it a shot and just use it?
and while i have camera on the brain, here are some more spring photos i took a couple of weeks ago with my little canon s110, before the last freeze. i can't believe we went from weather in the upper 70s to temps in the 30s but we seem to be back to spring-like weather, again.
out with the old and in with the new.
