This Chinese parasol was given to me as a birthday gift last year.  I just loved the pattern on it, and the colors are beautiful.

Speaking of getting a life,I take a brick with the longest lens combo and go after small flying creatures.
I call this "Luxury Liner"

I was digging through an old box and found these -- my old ballet pointe shoes.  It's been years since I even wore them.  It was once my dream to be a ballerina, and this dream did not come true for me but still holds a very precious spot in my heart.

I haven't done a black and white for a daily photo yet, and I thought this really ought to BE black and white...sort of a nostalgic touch, I thought.  I did also include a color version of it.

And, in a way, this is dedicated to ARF -- who asked if there was anything I DIDN'T do.  ;-)  To answer your question, yes.  This is one art form that I no longer possess the ability for.  I might have once, but it is now only the memory of a dream.

i don't have an actual macro lens so this is just hand-held with my 18-55mm. i just couldn't believe how much pollen this tiny, the flower is a 3/4" buttercup for scale, wasp/bee had managed to accumulate on itself. i think it was actually having trouble taking flight because i was able to try 5 or 6 shots before i went back into work. the bosses youngest daughter and i were out getting her a 'roly-poly' bug (which i grew up calling potato bugs) for a pet and as i've said before...i do carry my camera almost everywhere.
dita requested to see some of brianna's, miss geniality in my dailies, drawings so here are a few (super-stressed mommies are like the nice man pointing a gun at you, do everything they tell you) plus one of my fav fun pics of her

walked past this rhododendron on the way to the mother's day party at my step-moms and couldn't resist stopping to shoot it. i'm back home so will hopefully be catching up on what beautiful and interesting pics i've missed over the week-end

Two of my girl friends and I went out to High Tea at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake.  It was a little girls-day-out, and it was SO much fun.  After tea, we wandered the halls a little bit and I got some shots of this GORGEOUS chandelier.  I am such a sucker for chandeliers.  ;-)  I loved this closeup of the crystals, with the shimmer of the gold.  And I like the added touch I got when I put on my star filter.

Right outside the Bellagio Conservatory, there are these GORGEOUS chandeliers.  And we all know what a sucker I am for a good chandelier.  ;-)
