this is per request of angele who wanted to see the flowers when they opened from my 'hairy buds' dp several days ago. knowing what to call this plant is thanks to karinaboese. had a heck of a time getting this posted. uploaded fine then when i tried to access the gallery to put on title etc puter crashed. i rebooted 3 times but couldn't open any gallery on smugmug tho e-mail etc worked fine. did a bunch  of other things and decided to reboot and try one more time. got lucky. my puter is betting balkier and balkier and unfortunately i can't afford to fix or replace it. if worst comes to worst i can at least e- someone from the library's puters to let y'all know what's happened but if this puter wipes out i won't be able to upload any longer. hopefully it won't come to that. this is rambling on and on because i got frustrated and stayed up too long, tho at least i use punctuation unlike SOME people, dita ;-), but i'll wrap up now. hope you are having a much better day than mine is so far

caught this while taking a quick breath of fresh air out back at work. was going to just shoot the blackberry flowers because they're one of my fav's and when i got close this bumble was busy working so i got it too, on the first try luckily because half a second after i snapped it zipped off
SmugMug > popular > Other > June 15, 2008. Day 102. I took a lot of photos today in between bouts of rain. It seems I have a great deal to learn ( surprise, surprise). The photos look a lot better through the viewfinder than they do on my computer...they just don't seem crisp for lack of a better word. And I don't know what I am doing wrong. That said, I really like the new camera.

I also have to decide on a decent photo storage/editing program. I am thinking of getting Aperture since I am a Mac person (for the last two years). I also have to decide how many photos to keep since I am keeping too many and am about to run out of memory on my MacBook, although I have enough on the IMac.

i know there's a sun glint off the lens but i loved the light glowing along the hollow grass stems and leaves so decided to keep it anyway, just because. it looked like some jungles i've been in, in miniature, so i tried to give the shot that feel. the grass stems were approx 1/16" - 1/4" in diameter. thanks for the comments about 'the lunch box', i thought it was totally cool, the food was really good too. i caught, not all that well alas, another bus i've been trying to capture today for those who like them; the '401 fairhaven' is my 'home' route and usually uses the shorter decorated buses as fairhaven is something of a tourist area, being where the alaska ferry ports.

SmugMug > popular > Other > June 20, 2008:  Summer has definitely arrived........113 Degrees today!  So, I decided that a photo with water in it was the only way to go.  

Since I love water, rocks and reflections.....this one fit the bill.  I adjusted the lighting slightly to brighten it up a tad and gave it a frame, but no other PP.  The sun reflecting in the water added its own processing.
