Having your tonsils out isn't all bad.

Okay, that's a lie. It truly is as awful as they tell you it will be, at least as an adult. That's why I've had limited shooting time lately.

This morning, though, I felt up to a few shots.

There are some exceptions to the whole "getting your tonsils out is the worst experience ever" thing.

Exception A:

You have pretty drinks for breakfast:




Okay, maybe that's not the best idea of breakfast for some, but right now this is heaven in a glass for me.


Exception B:

Sometimes you get flowers:

These are both from a get-well bouquet I received. I love the light on the first one - the sun was just streaming in and light up all those pretty details. It almost looks like a backdrop, but it is not. Just a high aperture and light in the right places.

The daises almost have a milky, cloud-like feel to them. As if you were able to reach out and touch them, you know they would be soft and velvety.

Hopefully, I'll find more time soon for photos! I'm just itching to have a do-over shoot on that wine glass!

Bridges, windows and doors seemed to be a theme this weekend.

Just had a quick trip a few hours from home this weekend. We saw so many great architectural details in the old buildings and we crossed several small bridges. These are just a few of my favorites.

Bridge, shot from the window of the car (while in motion, no less) I'm digging shooting at odd angles these days - I think it can really give a unique look.

This was a walkway within The Crayola Factory in Easton, PA. I love how vibrant the aqua is against the background. More on that visit later.

I really wanted to capture the colors here. The bright fuchsia door caught my eye immediately - it stood out so much from the traditional red brick.

Look at the trim details - I love this green, and the reflection on the window. I also kind of like the angle on this, although I wish I'd been able to pull out just a little more.
