Happy 4th of July!
Today started out pretty low key. I didn’t have any plans for the holiday, just kinda playing it by ear. Niki decided to head to a friends pool and I tagged along. Not that I really wanted to swim (I may be a pisces…but I don’t really like to play in water). :) I decided it would be nice to get out of the house and get some fresh air. I brought my book and my camera and off we went. That’s where I got this picture.
The afternoon was very relaxing and afterward we ran some errands and then headed to Niki’s friends house for a cookout. Even though I didn’t know many people there it was still a good time. Kinda made me miss my family though. (Niki’s friends have a very large, close family) We hung out there for a little while and then went to meet Amber for some firework watching. Love fireworks!! Again I was reminded of Florida as I thought of Siesta Beach’s great firework display.
All in all, fun day.

Again, another unproductive photography day. I had class tonight…and I took some pictures of the paintings in the hallway at school. There are some really textured acrylic paintings that I was trying to get some dramatic shots of but I wasn’t really liking the results. This was another painting in the hall. I think it was a birdcage…but this shot is a close up so it’s hard to tell that. I like the mustardy color.

Yea! Another fun macro shot. I’m really loving this macro photography. Luckily, I have a lens that allows me to play around with it. :) I seem to be getting some better shots lately…although it’s still kinda tricky.
I was exploring the yard again today. This time, I was headed over to search Rachel’s sunflower for bugs. She was telling me the other day that she was having a general bug problem, and that got me thinking, “Ooohhh…bugs!”. Unfortunately, there were no bugs today. So I started looking around, trying to find something fun to photograph. Suddenly, I spot an unusually bright spot on the wood fence. Looking closer I saw him: a funny looking spikey/fuzzy caterpillar.

This was the only picture I took today. Luckily, it came out well. I went over to a friend’s house to play a zombie-based role-playing game for many, many hours, and it was a lot of fun!! Playing games like this really sparks up my dice addiction. I want to go get more dice now…it was so hard not to stop at the game store. :) Lucky for me, it was late and the store was closed.
I took this picture after we were done for the night, and I realized I probably wouldn’t have another opportunity to take a picture. Hoping nobody would think I was weird…I snapped a picture that I think captures my evening perfectly. Anyone who has played games like this knows what went down today. (…and i didn’t die!!)

Hot. Very hot today. But fun. I dropped off my car at Tires Plus and decided to walk home. It’s only 1.5 miles, and I figured I would be able to get some fun pictures on the walk. And I did.
My favorite part was finding this dandelion. I found it and took a few pictures of it where it grew. Then, I decided to pluck it and experiment with background colors.
Green grass (ehh).
Concrete (looks like denim).
Pretty purple flower – Winner!

Standing outside, pumping gas, I noticed the awesome texture the rust made on this gas pump. I really wish I had my macro lens, though. Ah well. I quickly snapped a few shots in hopes of catching a good one, and went on my way. This was the best one of the bunch.

This is Larry. I met him after a rain shower today. My photo journey started with me sitting on my car, taking pictures of the branch that hangs down over my trunk. I was playing around with the macro lens, trying to figure it out, when it started to sprinkle. Oooh…maybe I can get some good droplet shots. Nope. Not today. I headed inside, myself covered in water droplets, without a good photo and hoped to get something later.
After a few hours, I headed back outside to see if I could find something interesting. I went around looking at the different branches, trying to find an image, and ended up at the bush around the mailbox. I was getting some fun droplet shots when I noticed him. He was a little hesitant in his steps due to all the water (I’m assuming of course), but he didn’t run away at the sight of my camera. Lucky for me! He seems to be saying “Hello” in this picture, and it just makes me smile. It’s his eyes…so cute.

I ventured into my neighbor’s backyard today. You know…to see things in a different light…or something. I’m sure he doesn’t mind, though. :) Unfortunately, there were also a ton of mosquitoes in his yard. Needless to say, I didn’t stay long. Just long enough to get this shot through the trees. I love the composition, and the way the sunlight shines through the leaves, illuminating every vein.
