red with yellow blur by home depot

yesterday morning i went out with the intention of photographing tulips. I was only able to find red and yellow this year - and now near the size displays that I have seen in previous years.
The weather though couldn't have been more perfect. I may add more later in the week but for now I have to go to work. It's one of my longer days - 10 hours - but I don't dread this as much - I think my cold is breaking. I do hope I find opportunity to take a break in my work and get outside for my "lunch" break. (when you work 11-9 it's odd - its not really lunchtime when you take your break.) I wasn't able to get very many decent photos yesterday. I've been on a roll lately wanting to take photos of everything - a confluence of influences I think have led to this - joining flickr, warmer weather, wanting to try out my camera, oh and the obsessive side of me. That part somewhat relates to flickr. Now that I have seen what wonderful photos other people take - I'm detremined to improve my own photograpic skills. It's challenging being in kansas rather than near something breathtaking like mountains or the sea- but possibly that is why i have developed an interest in different perspectives, abstract images, and macros. I soooo want an extension ring - and a really good macro. oh - and I've also been fantasizing about an ubgrade in the digital point and shoot becuase you cann't alwasy carry the slr. My latest dreams: casio exilim s-100 (has split screen abiliy -and its TINY) and - this may be a greater desire....I want the canon powershot sd-550 its (drumrole please....) 7.1 megapixil, it's small and its got some neat color settings that I'm hungering to play with...but until i've saved some money or the price is dropped.....I'll have to wait. so, in the interiim I've placated myself by getting some film for my holga - i haven't done anything with film since december - and I'm hungering to do multiple exposures. gotta run!
