A new computer and a renewed passion

Ok, so I'm up and running again on my new computer. It's only my 4th or 5th for the year. Actually, it's new to me, as it was my husband's until a few weeks ago. It seems to run great...just give it a few days in my possession though...that will be the true test ;-)

Because I now have plenty of memory, and because we have so many beautiful flowers in our garden right now, I spent some time today taking photos. I LOVE taking pictures, and it's been a while since I've gotten to play with my telephoto lens. Sorry to bore you to tears, but I thought I'd share some. The overcast conditions really made the flowers stand out, and all the colors are real and not retouched. I could have toned them down a bit, but I wanted you to see how brilliant the colors really are. Oh, and of course there are pics of the kids! Hope you enjoy!















This is the same flower as the one above. See how flat it looks from this perspective, but how raised the middle really is?









Oh, and with the new computer I lost all my bookmarks for now, so if you have a blog, I once again have no idea how to find you. Send me an e-mail with your blog address!
