Nature

Nice weather + new camera = …

… much more photos than I am able to present here (and of course several from just testing, which wouldn’t be worth it). :)

And nature isn’t all that green and in blossom around here yet; forsythia blossoms, for instance, are still closed. Well then, here’s a little selection – click to get to the flickr pages with larger versions:

On my Flickr page (archive 9 March) I got a few more.

No too spectacular an image, but simply my Epipremnum – but it’s the very first photo with my new Canon EOS 40D (in full-automatic mode, with flash), ordered on Monday and arrived today (quite fast for an advance-payment order):

So let’s see how many hundred pictures the weekend will bring… :mrgreen:

Projekt 52 week 9: The color red

The topic of week 9 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:

The color red

So I today took another picture of my Chrismas star which reached only second place, so to speak, two weeks ago for the “flowerage” topic – good thing that Sari drew this topic now and not in several weeks. :) And in the following weeks, I’ll try to be a little more creative…

Week 9: The color Red

My little Christmas star (Poinsettia) does show that it isn’t that fresh anymore, but for late February, it still has quite a few red bracts – 2 weeks ago for the topic “flowerage” I rather did without it, but it fits nicely here…


Projekt 52 week 7: Flowerage

The topic of week 7 in Sari’s Projekt 52:

Flowerage

At first, I had thought about my Christmas star (Poinsettia) which still has most of its red bracts – but it doesn’t look that great and wouldn’t live up to its Latin name part pulcherrima. So instead of wandering around and shooting flowerage in other people’s gardens which is still a little sparse around here, I decided to take a closeup:

I shouldn’t listen to any more news today…

…because already since the morning, they always talk about the exciting countdown for publishing the name for Nürnberg’s polar bear baby – and even as first, i.e. alledgedly most important news message. And a few days ago, it was always “it opened its eyes today for the first time, first the left eye, then the right.” Aaargh!

Not that I’d be averse to polar bears or animal babies (or both), or against people who outright love them, but must there be always all that fuss about them??
