We went out to Bowring Park and I couldn’t help but notice that almost a year ago I was asked to go out to take pictures for the very first time

. It felt like we were revisiting not only a place but also a point in time. Bowring Park seems like a common place, but the combination of tulips, sun and company made it so much more special around this time of year.  It felt like an anniversary, only it came a couple of weeks early. Yes, it’s almost been a full year and I hope it will be followed by many more.

I’ve finally been able to try out one of the new gadgets we’ve purchased. It’s a 1.5x teleconverter from Kenko that I attached to my lens to see if I can get better results in macro. I have to say that so far all the pictures I have taken with the attachment are of lesser quality than my images taken without it, which was to be expected and I have been forewarned. Maybe better lighting will give me better results once we have some real “springing” happening outside. For now I have these for you:

Here is another take on the pink gerbera:

I hate uncertainty. Like the other day when I got a call from Randy telling me that he was at the emergency room to get some stitches. That just sent my mind spinning out of control. And I know that he is not quick to call the doctor whenever he gets a sore throat, so I know that it must be serious for him to end up at the emergency room. Sure enough, he cut his index finger and middle finger so deep that a band-aid would not do. Now he is proudly displaying two finger condoms wherever he goes

On a day like today, when perfectly snowless streets are getting filled up with the white stuff, all I could think of doing was going through some pictures taken on a nice sunny day. And this is what I found:

It’s been over a month since Valentine’s Day and I am still holding on to my roses. Actually, it’s just one rose and it has obviously dried up by now. Oh btw, there is no rose, it’s just a picture that I did not want to post. But there comes a point in time when a lack of new stock hits you and you are persuaded to dig deep in the archives… So here it is: My resting rose.
