Hodge-Podge

Well I haven't been here since Easter, so I hope that everyone had a wonderful one.



Mine was good, except that I somehow deleted my memory card. Luckily I only lost the pictures I took that day. The other bad thing was I dropped my phone in dishwater. Dried it out in the sun and it still works.



Of course I have been going crazy taking picture. I visited Bobbie's front yard and got macro pictures of her flowers.





Blurry, but I like it.





My favorite of her tulips. I love the lone yellow tulip in the background on the left.



Of course I went to the zoo. I took over a hundred pictures using some of the features on the camera.
One feature is called 'behind the glass'. The Tamaron's in the zoo are behind the glass and I have never been able to get decent pictures. Until now.
This is my favorite tamaron picture. I called it peek-a-boo tamaron.



Our zoo has a pair of Bald Eagles. I think I spent the most time there. I can tell you this is where I took most of the pictures. This is just one of many.


They have built a nest in their enclosure, but I was so focused on them, I didn't take a picture of the nest. Hopefully, there will be eaglets.
I stopped at my favorite horse farm.

Isn't he handsome?
Friday night I went to dinner with friends. We had a good time. Before dessert they start singing Happy Birthday. I started looking around the table to figure out who's birthday it was as the waitress was carrying a cake. They are all looking at me. Imagine my surprise that it was for me. This was very nice and I must say, they got me good.
Saturday was beautiful. Sun shining. Warm, but not too warm. I mowed. I was happy both the lawnmower and me made it without pooping out.
I put a fountain on my deck, got a book and sat out there and relaxed. If you have anyplace for a fountain, I highly recommend getting one. Listening to the water was sooo relaxing.




Okay back to my photos. My poor kitties have been my favorite subject thus far. Good for me, but not for them. Lots of dirty looks from them and laughs for me.


My favorite, so far of Ralphy.
I tired him out with this session.


My favorite of Yipper.
She's playing shy girl.
Of course I saved my baby for last.

This is my absolutely favorite marco of her. This is now my desktop photo here and work.
Okay enough already from me. I hope you have enjoyed some of my photos.

Yikes! I know that feeling about accidentally deleting the memory card. My brother had a program to retrieve most of the photos, thank goodness.

You have the most amazing macro lens although a lot has to do with the fact that you are such a fabulous photographer. I love your cat photos the best. There's such fun expressions on them.

You did capture some great expressions on your cats.

I'm glad the girls celebrated your birthday, even though it was late. They had to wait to surprise you.

Happy Earth Day.

Well of course I liked the kitties best and it's hard to go past that photo of your baby! Seems like you're having fun with the new camera Lisa!
That was very sweet of your friends to surprise you with a birthday cake too. Have fun on the weekend, Lisa. Flowers and animals make wonderful subjects for honing your skills.

Ingest just a little wines. While many people can tell you that people that suffer from joint disease must not consume, research has shown this being an unfounded issue. Gentle drinkers do not have any unwanted issues with their arthritis, and red-colored red wine might actually aid to protect against damaging inflammation from cropping up.
