Whew! Things are busy, busy, busy around here. And well, I am totally over it! The school year is wrapping up, but I think I wrapped it up about two weeks ago. Projects are due. Parties need to be planned. Stuff needs to be purchased and brought in. I have had ENOUGH! I was looking forward to doing beach photography sessions while we are at the beach in June. But right now, I can't even stand the thought of it. I am just so tired. I already threatened the boys that if they are bad and complaining they are bored while we are at the beach, then I am sending them all the Starchild Summer Camp - a horrible fate in their eyes.
So today was Mother's Day and way too short, I must say. I told Gary that I am going to lobby Congress for Mother's Fortnight. I think they would pass it, because they have no trouble agreeing on pointless, pandering legislation. But, I digress. I got one of those cool Flip video cameras and made my first movie. This will no doubt make me shed buckets of tears in the coming years.
I am studing light in this photography course I am taking. So I have been thinking about it a lot. I bought these beautiful bright orange daisies at the grocery store the other day. I love them because they remind me of the robes that Buddhist monks wear. Anyway, I wondered how they would glow in the bright sunlight against a bright blue sky. So, I took them outside and put them on a six foot ladder. Then, I took pictures from all angles shooting from below. Here is what I came up with.
That's all for now. Busy week ahead ending in a trip to Tennessee with all my boys to see my nephew graduate. AND, remember that thing I told you about that would make you pee your pants. I might be able to post it at the end of the week.
I love the pictures of the flowers!! Beautiful. And needless to say, the you tube video of the boys is great! Such handsome boys-my grandchilden-and I really love them!! You, too!
