So today was fairly warm, but it pretty much rained all day. Boy did the weathermen get that wrong. They predicted it would get sunny out. :::cough cough::: When will I learn not to listen!?! The other day I had scheduled myself to leave early today. Oh how I love those 2 hour passes!!! I thought I could get outside and get some shots and play with my new lens. For those that asked, it really isn't anything fancy, it's just a telephoto. Ok, so maybe not 'just', but from some of the mails I got it appeared folks thought I had some fancy dancy camera. I don't. LOL
So anyway, it's a down pour when I leave work. Damn it! Not like I can get much playing done in the rain, but I hated to waste the time off. I decided to take a run to the Botanical Gardens. On a nice day the park setting is a wonderful place to snap some shots. On a shitty day, well you go inside and get shots. LOL When I pulled in to park, the 'birds' didn't mind the rain. I sat in my car, put down the window and took shots from the comfort of my dry car. I can't say the same for these critters. You can rest assured I will go back and get more, but I thought these came out pretty good even though the rain was coming down. I love how you can see the drops hanging on the branches in the last one.
Inside was gorgeous. Warm and humid. The smell of flowers was to die for! It actually made me feel good and put me in a much better mood. Not that I was shocked by the outcome, but my boys lost last night and ended their chance at the playoffs. It would have been a shock had they made it, but still we all hoped. They have one more game tomorrow and then the season comes to an end for them. An early trip to their hometown, or the golf course. They pick. I will still be in front of the TV watching. LOL I just haven't decided who I will cheer for. I know who I won't be cheering for, that is for sure! ::evil grin::
Ok, off to play with a few more photo's and probably a tag request. We'll see how the evening pans out. I do hope everyone had a great Friday. Should I believe the forecast? They 60 and sunny on Sunday.
Hugs
