I took a whole bunch of photos using manual focus this evening (auto focus wasn’t working quite the way I wanted), only to discover that it’s not the best thing to use when you’re visually challenged like I am (even when wearing my glasses). So… here’s Josh’s plastic sunflower. Enjoy!

The hummingbirds are back, and have been hanging around the yard, despite the fact that they apparently do not like the store-bought food we have offered them. They fly to the feeder and fly right away. I guess I’ll have to make them the good stuff — homemade sugar water.  This little guy kept me

We, unaccustomed to courage exiles from delight live coiled in shells of loneliness until love leaves its high holy temple and comes into our sight to liberate us into life.

The bad thing about leaving your windows open on a beautiful but windy day? You come home to to a pollen-covered house. Good thing Josh and I are all stocked up on allergy medicine. I’ve been playing around with light metering, auto focus, and other manual mode settings on my D-SLR, trying to apply what

I haven’t been too happy with my SLR photos lately. I’ve been trying some new techniques I learned in my photography class, but I need a lot of work. So in the meantime, please enjoy some sunset photos I’ve captured with my iPhone. 🙂
