Piccture of the Day 03-02-09

daisies-002

Well, I’m  trying to post a “Photo of the Day” but maybe I should change it to Photo’S’ of the Day.  I just can’t seem to narrow it down to one favorite daily shot. I wanted a super-awesome new background to my blog .  Therefore, today’s challenge was to get a good photograph of my birthday Orchid (mission accomplished!).

It was definitely a ‘favorite flower’ kind of day.  My mother brought me my favorite daisies for the kitchen table, and I just had to shoot them! I especially  love taking closeups of plants and  flowers. Although, macro shots of plants are absolutely a joy to me, some may find the subject tiresome. If that is the case.  then go peruse flickr for neato stop actions and some over-photo shopped goodies to satisfy your pretentiousness.  Otherwise, enjoy my photos of the day and let me know what you like or don’t like (besides the subject matter).  I need input people! Wenders talks to imaginary readers cuz she haz none 🙁 .

Here are a few more of my favorites of the day.

Pic of the Day and Other Stuff

It  was, as always, a fantastic weekend in Anna.  Yesterday was filled with a baby shower, catching up with old college friends, and a few fantastic belated birthday presents (one of which was a beautiful Phaleonopsis orchid that will absolutely be the subject of many well composed future photos!).  Today, we may head up to Haltom City to have a mouthwatering lunch with my aunt and uncle before we head home.  For now, I am content to sit around and be lazy for another hour or two.  So without further ado:

The Picture Of the Day

(which, of course, may not come everyday so enjoy)

my-tree

I Love this tree.  I imagine that it must be a home for faeries and wood nymphs.  Parker seems to think that it is a birdie truck stop tree, because it always seem to be filled with birds on the go.  Either way it is a tree full of life.
