I don’t know if you remember, but I said I’d take some pictures of the thistles at Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve next time I went out.
I just loaded the pictures onto my computer, and I was very excited to see them.
Nature is such an artist.
I was commenting to my husband today that as soon as we get out of the car and start walking at this park, I start smiling.
The sounds of all the birds, the fresh air, the fragrances of the trees and flowers as you cross the bridge over the creek, and the wide open vistas, are very uplifting.
I do love my DSLR.
It’s not heavy, just bulky. I’ve started carrying it, even on hikes. I alternated, one day I used the Panasonic, and the next I brought the Sony. They’re like good friends.
I captured a shot of that exotic flower I mentioned the other day.
Have a wonderful weekend!
