From my coldest dive ever. These seem to manage 1°C despite less food around for them too.

not really, but that was the impact that it had on me when I happened to catch sight of it in my peripheral vision

4th of July 2011 from Seattle. Fireworks galore as they go off. I used BULB mode on the camera and F/8 to take most of the shots. Enjoy!

To be fair, I really don't know where the idea for this came from.
Well, it was sports day and I was mid hyper-ventilating from running the 1500 (joy of joys- I came 5th. Out of 6 people. BUT I MISSED OFF FROM COMING 1ST IN JAVELIN BY 4MM!!!! 4MM!!!! That is total cruelty. It could've at least been a joint place!!! Ho hum, c'est la bien vie) when my caring chum Katie suddenly says-
"That would make such a good picture!"
Me (wheezing): W-w-what :cough: w-w-wwheeeze- would make a good picture? (takes a second to close eyes and think about anything other than the fact her lungs may explode any moment)
Katie: That orange peel!!! And, kind of my hand reaching out for the orange-like I'm dying!!!
Me: (whispering from pain and physical exertion now) Like m-meee right nooow??
Katie: Yeah, like you! Right now!!!
Me: (loses consciousness for milisecond) (regains consciousness) L-l-et me just get
my phone....
SNAP!
Well.
The product of the conversation was this rather random picture, and the discovery that my best friend cares more about a piece of orange peel on the grass than whether I am about to collapse or not.
Oh yeah. And she gains inspiration from dying people.
(joke. I love you really Kit-kat. You rule!!!)
Los Angeles, California. I'm not sure what this is but it's one of the few flower shots I got that I like. There's a great variety of flowers in the Getty Center Central Garden but no room for a tripod on the walkway and there's little shade so be prepared for full sun unless you go at either end of the day.
The big day-Sweet 16. I took this right before we left for the country club. Man she was a stoked and dad was $9000 broke. Was it worth it? I don't know, I just want my baby never to grow up.
Well, there's dedication for you! My first day of rain contended with, on top of the worry my newly-exploding car engine was giving me. Things can only get sunnier... I hope!
