Hunting 313 and Wildflower Photos, etc.

Why haven't I posted these sketches??  I sketched in my studio with a Pilot ball point pen the other day.  Sketching with the ball point pen is a bit different as you press harder.  The ink marker/pens just glide over the paper.  It is always good to do things a bit differently.  It gets you off of your auto-pilot and wakes you up a bit.

Number 9, heavy - weights
Number 10, light - the sheers in my studio
Number 11, hanger - the clear hook on my door

I When I got my new Canon Power Shot camera,  I decided to add insurance as I have not been the gentlest person with my cameras.  When I went to verify it, I found that I had insurance on the Casio which would expire in June.  I corresponded with Square Trade Warranty Services about my Casio not working.  They authorized me to send it in.  I got a full refund, plus 5% if I got an Amazon Gift Card.  I did that since we use Amazon so much.  So the refund almost paid for my new Camera.  I had forgotten I had the insurance.  Wow, how nice is that?

I have been trying the new camera.  It is very nice.  Compact and easy to use.  It comes on very fast, which I need for taking photos out the window.  You can click on the photos to see them larger.

These yellow flowers grow in the yard.  They open up just in the mornings.  Interesting and pretty.

These seem to be morning flowers, too.  They don't live very long.

These thistles grow along the road where we walk.  I like the butterfly.

Nettles are so beautiful, but oh how they sting and make a rash!  Ouch!

We saw several more animals this morning.  Was the roadrunner building a nest or having brunch? Hmm.

The sunrise and sunset on Mother's Day.  I took the sunrise and Larry took the sunset with my camera.

Larry also took these pebbles on the fence post after he took the sunset.  It was very dark, but my camera has a setting for that I see.  He took several of us sitting on the porch.  I won't post those, we were too relaxed.  Ha.

Larry also left my Mother's Day bear like this when he left.  Aw, Larry.
