What Things Look Like Today

Spring is finally starting to feel like spring around here now. It took quite a bit of time for temperatures to begin warming up. I was starting to think that winter was just going to last forever. It was kind of a depressing thought. I guess in the end things worked out pretty equally because spring temperatures got here about a month early last year.

But now it's spring, and I've been out taking a few pictures. I always get excited when I've been out with my camera. I can't wait to post them here when I get a few decent ones. Trust me, I've got better ones than the pictures I'm sharing today.

What I thought I'd bring you today are some of my experiments with macro photography. I've been trying to improve that aspect of my photography for quite some time now. I never seem to get the focus right. I can't see my subjects very well. I recently found out that's because my eyesight isn't what it used to be. Just another little thing to take care of. Oh well.

Since I was just restarting this experiment I thought I'd practice on the weeds I saw growing around. After looking at these pictures again I'm not too sure about their artistic value, but I did get the camera's focus right. I guess I'll have to get one thing right at a time for now. At least I tried.

My writing is still coming hard to me, but it's feeling less clumsy when I am able to do it. That's a very good sign. That means I have one less hurdle that might prevent me from being able to begin posting more often.

I have plenty more pictures than these that I took, and some that are much better than these. That means that my next post should come a lot sooner than this one did. Who knows? Maybe I'll even be able to get another one up in a few days. See? I told you I was excited.

Oh! I'm not sure what any of these plants in the pictures are. I think the first one is some wild hemp weed. That stuff grows all over the place around here. I liked the thorns on the second plant. And the third one looked like it must have contained some interesting seeds.

That's it for this time. Like I keep saying, I hope my next post will be much sooner. This time I think it will.
