my best suprise
So, I really think umbrellas are adorable. I took these pictures a couple days ago, but decided I'd just go ahead and edit them and post them. You can never fail with a picture of nature. Simplicity never fails.
I'm off to California in one day! The anticipation is killing me. The possibilities for amazing things to capture will be unbelievalbe.
Yay for my brother getting married! and living in California! :)

Closing In
I took the camera out tonight to attempt to take some pictures... For some reason I'm having trouble figuring out how to take a good picture while it being dark outside. The flash can be annoying and hard to work with, so it's just complicating.
I'll figure it out eventually...
While doing so I got bored and decided I'd be silly. This picture is of me being silly... Also holding my favorite notebook.
I probably write and own too many notebooks. Oh well.

The Lucky Ones Know Exactly What I Mean
^When I went out to take pictures today I was looking basically at bigger things that kind of stood out. On my way back in the house, I noticed this little abandoned yellow flower. I know that a lot of people take pictures of flowers, and they have become some what of an over used object, but none the less, they're still really pretty.
But as a "photographer," I don't feel as satisfied when I take pictures of flowers. I mean, all in all, the art was mostly done by God, I'm just capturing it with a camera.
What I liked about this one particular flower though was the fact that it stood all alone. It was the only one flower among a field of grass.
It survives and shines with its yellow beauty, while being all alone. We should learn to capture this ability and use it in our own lives. - Surviving alone that is.

"A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell."
-C.S. Lewis
I think, at least from my own perspective... that I'm getting better at focusing my camera. Still a long way for me to go, but I'm getting there.
I love when it's 75 degrees outside.

Summer
^Eventually
^Hope
^Lush
Summer's here and I'm ready to start using my camera again. I'm really excited. I think I'm most excited to start caring about what other's say about my pictures. Negative or not, I think it'll be good for me. Criticism in general is good for us. I'm ready to hear mine.
I still have a long way to go as far as understanding most things on my camera, but I think I'm getting there.
P.S. If you click the pictures, you'll get a larger version. :)
