i don't want to disappoint, but i think this will be the last set of bug pictures i post for a while. why? well, i'm lazy & not interested in scouring my backyard for another insect to photograph. besides, i'm sure y'all want to see pictures of things like the beach, the pups & various other shenanigans that may {or may not} take place at mi casa. no? well, whatever.so, here is my latest installment for {semi} wordless - yet bug filled - wednesday. i'm not sure what kind of katydid this is, but it is indeed a katydid.i harassed the hell out of this katydid. out of the 23 pictures i took {yes, 23!} there were only three that were fit for sharing. of course, i should consider myself lucky because had i not been watering the butterfly bush i would have never known there was a katydid … [Read more...]
{semi} wordless wednesday: ranunculus
in the spirit of budgeting, getting out of debt & saving money, i bought a new camera. doesn't make a whole lot of sense, does it? didn't think so. but, i couldn't pass this camera up. for those of you who know me well, you know i've been yearning for a fancier camera. you probably also know where i bought it from {today's special value? yes, please!}. but, yeah, about that qvc thing...that's a whole 'nother blog topic.anyways, about the camera. it's in between a point & shoot and a DSLR...it's a 'tweener! i haven't played around with the manual settings yet, but i'm really enjoying the auto setting. i tested out the camera by taking pictures of the ranunculus clippings i bought last week while at trader joe's.{i edited these pictures with adobe photoshop … [Read more...]
Say Cheese!
I killed my camera over the weekend. It took an unfortunate fall out of the top of my bathing suit - DON'T ASK - and into a small pool of sea water left behind by the outgoing tide. Needless to say, my ♥ is broken. I am so glad that the memory card did NOT suffer any water damage, so I didn't lose any precious photos. I don't know about you, but I'm hard on cameras. I mean, this wasn't the first time I've dropped my camera, but usually I drop it on, oh, concrete or some other hard surface. My camera gets tossed into my bag and its strewn around wherever I go. It goes without saying that I will never, ever own a fancy digital camera. As long as I have my trusty point & shoot, then I'm a happy girl.With that being said, I'm currently using a "back up" camera. It's my "old" camera that … [Read more...]
