I don't know why, but I've suddenly felt like blogging.
Yesterday I walked around outside with the Mark II, which was really fun. Our neighbor's storage barn burned down last month and the ruins are still sitting around. Here are some of the things that I found...
A very old GQ magazine, from a time when men wore too-big suede jackets, beige turtlenecks and tweed pants.
A mighty collection of hotel bar soaps. This is just a few of them - there had to be hundreds.
I love this. Butt squared. It was in a PC World magazine, no idea why it says Butt squared...
An ashy broom.
Lots of cigar boxes.
A charred tree.
A charred copy of the Tales of Edgar Allan Poe, which is cool.
Someone had attempted to make it into a box of sorts, you know the kind that you stick liquor in...
Quinn found a tiny apple by the apple tree. I like the detail in his skin, all ashy. Isn't that depth of field like crazy? It's at 1.8.So, after we ransacked the ruins, we investigated our own yard (which is rather boring, after four years of taking the same pictures.) But we did find wild roses:
I absolutely did not edit the flowers in this picture. I give you my word that it is straight from the camera - all I did to this picture was darken the background.And honeysuckle... Isn't it funny, how it's so perfectly centered, two on the right and two on the left, and just sitting there away from it's family...
This is a bluebird. You can actually see its colors, in the original, full-sized image, if you zoom up. Very impressive.
I think this chicken picture is my favorite, from today. I rather love it!
This is a tropical cake that Quinn made yesterday. It's really delicious, with pineapple, cranberries, pecans and maybe something else, but I can't really remember.
By the way, Jamie, I LOVE my hula-hoop.
This is a shot of rain. It started to sprinkle, so I jacked the ISO up to 3200 and the shutter speed up to 8000 and froze the raindrops. It looks more like snow, though, doesn't it?So that's it, for this post, ladies and gentlemen. (Though, mostly ladies, I believe...)
I bid you good day. :)
