autumn flower

all this week, when I was leaving home for work. I was surprised with this amazing flower, living in autumn in the garden. All days I've been regretting having this busy life that doesn't let me stop five minutes to take the picture.

 

Today it's bank holiday in my city and the first thing I've done is to take the picture of the adventerous flower that dares to look at the world in these rainy and cold days. It made me feel so good all these past days that I decided to apply some warm colour balancing to enhance the feelings it produced on me.

 

It's also a very special photograph for me as it will probably be the latest one I'll take with my DSLR, as the Nikon D70s is leaving home very soon. And I think this photograph also represents what my relationship with the camera has been for the past year and a half... a beautiful, but painful at times relationship. The camera went with me to the US West Coast, to London, to Paris, to Amsterdam, to the gay pride when marriage was approved in Spain... Apart for the pain that it produced in my back :-), I'll surely miss it. But, who knows, maybe in the not-so-far future I'll be embracing DSLRs again... (have I heard light D40 sounding in the air :-))))))
