As I sit and reflect over the day, I can’t help but feel just a wee bit happy. \u00a0Could empty laundry baskets have something to do with it? \u00a0Or could it be that the ironing is all up to snuff? \u00a0Maybe, just maybe it was the invitation to join the hubs for a special lunch date. \u00a0My absolute favorite part of the day, hands down. \u00a0Perhaps this great feeling has to do with all the above. \u00a0Either way, it’s been a great day and I’m ready for the weekend.<\/p>\n

All work and no play is no fun. \u00a0So I mixed it up by taking my camera out for a spin in the yard. \u00a0I wanted to try a few settings while things down below were blanketed with shade, complements to the clouds that rolled in.<\/p>\n

Behold! \u00a0I spied tomatoes growing in our yard! \u00a0Who knew? \u00a0We didn’t plant them.<\/p>\n

I thought they made a great subject, so I shot them like so.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I tend to avoid dead flowers in my shots. \u00a0However, I found the vibrant yellow that popped from the flowers that once bloomed,\u00a0to be\u00a0a good thing.<\/p>\n

Be bright and bold! \u00a0Live life to the fullest! \u00a0Bloom where you are planted! \u00a0It’s what the \u00a0flowers have to say. \u00a0They can teach us a lot. \u00a0No?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One last shot – I don’t claim to know my So Cal trees. \u00a0But I wonder if this is a sweetgum. \u00a0Thanks to my girlfriend from TX to provide the info on it. \u00a0It’s the leaf that first caught my eye. \u00a0Then that fruit sort of a thing begged to be in the shot too. \u00a0So there you have it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My photography classes officially begin Monday. \u00a0I’m so excited, I’m about to pop! \u00a0I can’t wait for my first “real” assignment. \u00a0 \u00a0I’m thinking that assignment and much much more will make the blog, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n
