Tiger Lily

I think this is a record…

I’ve done two non-people posts in a row! By the way, these are looking particularly un-sharp in this post, and I don’t know why. They look much better if you click on them to enlarge them, though.

I think trees look kind of neat when they’re leafless.

Roses

My husband brought me some flowers out of the blue last week(along with some Peppermint Joe-Joe’s from Trader Joe’s, which I love, love, love, love. It’s a good thing for my health that they are only available once a year!).

I decided to try taking some pictures of them, but my camera lens wasn’t all that cooperative. If I try to zoom too close to something, it refuses to take a picture.

The red rose looked kind of weird in black and white, but I kind of like the way this yellow one looks without color.

I have to say, flowers are easier to photograph than kids in many ways! They don’t wiggle, they don’t cry, they don’t make bad faces, and they don’t mind you putting them in a bunch of different places to try to find the best light. But, I still think I prefer taking pictures of people.

Ah yes…must remember to check the background!

This is better.

And so is this.

But this, which my son did, is not so good. Hee-hee.
