Yes, it's that time of year again when the buses and metros alternate their bus route number with "Les Amoureux" and everyone attempts grand gestures of love all thanks to the marketing team of Hallmark. Valentine's Day is a nice day to spoil your loved ones; it can also be stressful to find something perfect to give your loved one... especially when you've contracted your 3rd illness in 5 weeks and can't get off the couch/bed to do anything. Seriously, I've had 2 colds and the stomach flu since we got back from vacation! I'm very mad at my immune system...maybe it's getting back at me for getting a flu shot, who knows. All I know is that I spent all afternoon yesterday sleeping and moping....and admiring the flowers Joe bought me for Valentine's Day! Finally, I had a subject to photograph! The flowers and the sunshine gave me an opportunity to play with my new fancy camera that Joe's mom gave us for Christmas. I'm still not quite sure how to use all the manual settings, but here are a couple pictures I took this morning playing around with the morning light in the kitchen.
-the entire bouquet from Joe (yes, the camera manual is in plain view)
-farting around with the camera's aperture settings
Over the years I've become pretty good at taking pictures of flowers...now I just need to figure out how to expand this to better artistic photos of people and scenery as well!
