So yesterday I posted some bad poetry, and today I'm posting pictures of flowers. Subconsciously, I might be trying to work up a good shunning from the community (or non-community, as the case may be).
I got a new camera. A Sony Cyper-shot DSC-T77. That's the last time I'll remember its name. For those of you curious, click HERE and you can find some information on the camera.
I had an older version of this camera about two years ago. It slowly pooped out. I basically freaked out when this camera was dying. Some of my flickr friends (that includes Barry) chipped in and surprised me with a replacement camera. That was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. That camera was great but it lacked one thing, the micro macro setting. And like many a country song will tell you, you don't know what you have 'til you ain't have it no more.
What it boils down to is that I bought myself a new camera - even though I didn't really need it. Freaky told me that I've been guiltying about it - but not so guiltying that I haven't made a pest of myself at the local chain store nursery department. Here's my latest batch of pictures using that setting - maybe you can see why I was so selfish that I snatched food from my child's mouth to buy this thing:
(If Mom finds out I'm abusing the "diary" with this prattle, she really will fire me.)

thats a damn good camera and #5 and the last one are my favorites and not just bc they are purple flowers..
#5 is bc well thats an awesome pictre, the colors and balance, just love it
thats ok if yur getting kicked off im going down to.. i just posted a mushy love song kinda post..
But flowers are fascinating things when you look at them at close range--extremely intricate. Or maybe I'm just saying that because I don't know what it's really like to get stoned. =o)
Yea, you're doomed. Showing too much talent.
I'm just thinking that the few people that have me on an rss feed will be thinking "why in the crap did I add this woman to my list?"
tequilaanddo!
WOOF
well, I don't know if I can get these types of shots, or would want to
try for that matter, when I can enjoy these so much.
What's all this talk about shunning?
It gets worse when bee season hits, so y'all might want to prepare yourself. I could even toss in a sunset picture. BEWARE
This camera was worth every ounce of starvation.
The photos prove it!
Now you can put a feast on the table and all will be well.
Rated for knowing when it's mama's turn to have a brand new toy!
Love seeing this side of you, my friend. No shunning here!
And I fully support your new camera. IT is not worthy of YOU! I will coach you throught he guilt of buying art equipment. I have a wheel that I guilted over for about 10 years....
And that next to last shot - my first thought was "Whose ass is THAT?? Ewww!!!!"
Then I saw Jane Smithie had the same reaction.
I'm always up for a good shunning. Maybe we could invite Lobodog and C.O. from Flickr.
Thumbed for the macrofication of flowerotica.
Mmm... cheese.
(thumbified for righteous selfishness)
I like 4 & 5 best. "We" have a new digital camera but I'm not sure I will be allowed to touch it. hehe
Gorgeous.
Thanks, Deven.

Of course you realize you're gonna set off the boys with that oddly testicular photo...
I'm hoping for part two with lots of droplets, like patchworkgandolf asked!
Rated!
Okay, you know I love you and am totally joking. I'm off to flickr now, just might have to order the big whitish petal. It speaks to me.
LOVE
Every time I try to take fleur fotos the wind is blowing and they come out blurry...or is that flurry...
Your kid can go eat at a neighbor's house a couple nights a week.
I should mention that I do use a little bit ::cough:: of post processing.
Here's a good overview of this camera: www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Sony_Cyber-shot_DSC_T77/
Gorgeous, gorgeous pics, T&D. My new camera has that setting too, and I've been itching to try it out. Flowers are opening in my garden, so I should get the chance soon. I hope mine come out at least half this well.
i saw that you don't restrict your pictures. you're my hero. thanks for being so open with your lovely work!
Thank you for sharing these (oh please let's not have any more snow) photos. They are lovely.
Those were beautiful and amazingly detailed. I don't think you'll get kicked off for it but just to be sure you should take a few pics of Smiley Cyprus for Trig
p.s., tell Mom to go play in the laundry room ;-)
