I was sure that I would have heard from Nikon by now. Because, when the Postal Service delivered my precious camera to them, I was certain that it would somehow stand out so that the people who evaluate broken cameras would be inexorably drawn to mine and grab it from wherever it was in the bin and look at it before any of those others. It seems that so far they have been able to resist this temptation. This leaves me with no choice but to cheer myself up with some of the – and I am not kidding here – approximately 23,000 unprocessed photos presently on my hard drive that I have taken since getting my D70.
Yellow makes me really really happy. My favorite “Bountiful Valley” daylily makes me happy.
Doesn’t Queen Anne’s Lace make you happy? It’s a weed, but I usually don’t have the heart to pull them up because they are just so pretty.
This begonia made me happy all last winter inside the house and all summer long on the porch. I think I will bring it inside tonight because I don’t trust that it won’t get too cold when it gets down to 40 degrees tonight.
The photos I took of this “Erin Farmer” daylily bloom are some of my favorites from the whole summer. I may have even put one of them on the blog already, but here she is again.
Finally, this was the last bloom of this particular Gloriosa Daisy. I planted a couple different varieties of these rudbeckias in this general area 7 years ago. They bloomed for two years and then nothing for 3 years – not a trace of them anywhere. Then last summer there were all over the place and again this year – one of my favorite garden surprises ever. Now don’t you feel a whole lot better?
Yes, I do. Thank you.
Now I hope you get that camera back soon so you can take another 23,000 photos.
Why yes I do feel better. lol.
I bet there are some real gems in that hard drive full of pics.
SHARE EM!
=D
Bu-tee-mus!
Do you live in the country? I am finding out so many people who say they live in upstate NY live in the beautiful country??
I am tryig to decide if I should list you under: “photo” or “country” on my blog lists:):):)
Happy Hump Dat!
Ruth – thanks & I am glad you feel better!
Yup Ashleigh, but a lot of junk too ;)
adventuregirl – I do live way out in the country and there few places on earth prettier than Upstate NY. Good luck categorizing my blog though – most people just file it under "drivel" I think. :D
I love your unprocessed photos… Since my computer crashed and is now back to running I have made a decision and that is that all my photos go into one place then as I “process” the best ones they go into another folder to be blog fodder… all of course will now be saved to the back up tower that I bought have hooked up and still am pretty cluelss as to how to use it but…. anyway thats my plan and I hope to stick to it LOL.
Beautiful shots and I so hope you get your baby back before you go through and post all 23 thousand :D
HUGS laura

Those pictures make me happy-
Your photos are lovely. I am currently taking a photography class out our local Arts & Science Center so that I can someday take decent photos on something besides the Auto settings on my Rebel.
Thank you for coming by my blog and your prayers for Christopher. I try to get by Lauren's site whenever she updates but some days I do it at work and can not comment.
She is in my thoughts and prayers daily.
