I was off from work today, but stuck at home waiting for some furniture to be delivered. I spent the morning staring wistfully out the window thinking that the light was perfect for taking photos. Sure enough, as soon as the furniture arrived the skies opened and down came the rain. I've always liked rain, but to be honest, I have liked it a lot less since I've become interested in photography. Here's another picture from Saturday at the botanical garden... which is the last sunny day I can remember.

I have the Thanksgiving long weekend off. I'm hoping the sun decides to make a rare appearance and that I can go somewhere interesting but not too crowded with my camera.

This summer has been cool and rainy. Earlier this week, the mercury finally managed to hit 30 degrees Celsius! Being a heat-lover, I couldn't resist taking the camera out for a little while. It was almost as though the bees and butterflies felt the same. They were out in full force in the front yard. Unlike the lazy days of early summer where a bee might spend a few minutes investigating a single flower, these bees were just giving 'er - frantically flying back and forth like gluttons at an all-you-can-eat buffet. They were moving so fast they were hard to photograph... I took nearly 50 photos, and these were the only ones that were (close enough to being) in focus.
