There were a few random downpours this afternoon.  They were rather heavy.  I wanted to try to capture the just rained on, covered in  water droplets look that everything gets when it rains.  It makes the world look fresh and renewed to me.  The top two photos were taken with my Nikon DSLR in my backyard and it taught me that the lens I have on there right now really does not like to take telephoto pictures.  The bottom is with my usual Sony Cybershot that I'm very comfortable with.

More photos of beautiful flowers.  There are so many blooming near work and near my house.

Playing with oil pastels.  The colors are a bit skewed because I couldn't be bother to get the other light.  Overall, I'm OK with how the flower turned out, the background is another story.  My reference picture had everything green and blurry in the background.  While it makes the flower stand out more, I'm not entirely happy with how the background looks.

I think the most annoying part of working on an afghan is spending a lot of time for not a lot of progress.  I worked on this fir a good while and only managed to add two rows.  It's still crocheting up beautifully though.

Photo hunting in my Grandmother's backyard.  My favorites are the photo of Kitty and the Lilly of the Valley.

Pineapple time.  The scale on the leaves is off.  But I'm happy with how the body turned out.

.Went looking for photos today, but nothing really struck my fancy until I saw these at the beach.  Poor things got left behind and the winds too care of the rest.
