WordPress – This, my updated blog is a wordpress blog, and I updated my DiaMind Blog and also added one to my new website. They are highly customizable and ever so much more robust than my old hosted sites. Funny Stuff – FU Penguin and FailBlog make my brain hurt from the funny. Up – Go see this movie. If you are a dog person, really go see this movie. My friend Nelson has this awesome food blog called Show Me Your Taco. I introduced him to the exotic tacos at Polvo’s and I got to help with the review and even do a little of the filming! It was fun, and tasty. This was taken during a speed photography* session at Mayfield Park a few weeks ago:
*When you just have a few minutes to kill between appointments and decide to take a quick walk through the park with your camera, and suddenly all the flowers are blooming and the peacocks are in full feather and you wish you had your D300 and 2 hours. Similar to Speed Shopping, which is the only time you ever find anything good at Ross. I have a thing for textures. Once a web designer… Leaf textures are hard with macro, you’ve got to get your depth of field right, and find stuff that isn’t too busy. I really like this one, one of my early attempts:
On Sunday we packed up the pooches and took a liesurely drive out to Kerrville, Texas. Yes, it was the music festival weekend, and no, we didn’t go. We stayed in a cool little house build in the 1920s or so by the ancestors of our kind hosts, the Bachofens. It was very cool. Exposed walls, a French-style stone fireplace. There are a bunch of little buildings on the property, I didn’t get to see them all. It was very relaxed and unpretentious. I didn’t drag out the flash to take any indoor pictures, but here are some shots of the property and some awesome wildflowers in the surround.
Our abode:
Rusty ol’ Hinge:
Spiny bull nettle:
Investigation:
By the side of the highway:
Cactus shot by David: You know I can’t get enough purple:
We went wildflower hunting while we were in Kerrville, and found these little beauties. Lots more photos here.
More on our adventure in Kerrville coming soon, but here’s a cool photo. I made David drive all over to find these funky purple flowers so I could photograph them, and when I found some he said, “Those? Those are bull nettles.” Seems you don’t want to go frolicking barefoot through a field of these. Note the spines. Pretty, though. In a creepy sort of way. Kind of a funky angle, but I think it works with Persphone’s pained look.
Ecinacea is one of the most fun flowers to photograph macro. Awesome texture! |
