More photos

I'm getting a little obsessed with the camera. It's reached the point where I'm taking pictures every day, and uploading a dozen or so to the Flickr account (which you can access here). I purchased a 10x macro lens, very cheaply, and which I thought would be garbage (given the price), but which has ended up producing some great images, like the one above.

I'm still learning the art, so I apologize if you follow the link over to my photo page and end up disappointed. I'm planning on creating a set to showcase my favorite shots (which I will call something along the lines of "My Favorites") to highlight the photos I really like, and figure others will enjoy as well.

If you don't like my photos, and feel cheated, I'll offer you an alternative: my brother's Flickr page. Very nice stuff and an inspiration for me. Don't like that? Close your eyes and keep them shut...

Photos!

A beautiful day today, with the weather and life in general conspiring in perfect harmony. I spent the the afternoon with my nephew, playing in my parent's backyard. The dogs got involved. Everywhere were signs of spring, plants blooming and bugs foraging.

I had taken some pictures three days ago of budding plants and trees and I went back to some of them today. Where I'd found a single dandelion I now found three. Plants that had seemingly just opened their eyes previously now appeared wide awake.

It never ceases to amaze me - the power of a good day. I've had many lately, and they seem to build upon themselves, magically reproducing more. I truly believe that outlook is fundamentally important to fully enjoy life.

I created a Flickr account today, which you can visit at:

I've posted a few pictures from today and some from three days ago.
