I’ve been taking lots of pictures the last couple days. My Flickr photostream is flowing pretty fast. I love running around and capturing as many different images of the same scene as I can. What did people do before the advent of CF cards? I remember flipping through the envelopes of photos my grandmother would bring with her when she came to visit us. She was big into photography. Well, she liked to take pictures, at least. I wish she were still around to experience this digital photography stuff. Man, she would’ve loved it.
We had some nasty weather blow through our area last night just as Ava was getting ready for bed. All the excitement was pretty much over by 7:45 or so, and as the storm system was leaving the area, the sky was patchy with these soft orange clouds that were really, really moving quickly across the backdrop of the starry sky. We all rushed out to the front lawn to watch, and I held Ava as she pointed out the stars she could see. It was a nice moment, but not one well-suited to catching on “film.”
I also brought home a habanero pepper from work yesterday. Someone had brought in a whole bowl full and put them out for the taking in the coffee room. My only intention was to photograph it, as its color was really striking. It never occurred to me at the time I grabbed it that it would look so cool up against the orange walls in the kitchen.
