Christmas Cactus doesn't like much water, but flowers with this beautiful flower.

2010 Challenge - 3/8/2010 - Potted Plant

1/160 f/7.1 85mm ISO 400. Bounce +0.

My workplace gave me this wonderful indoor potted plant. It has attracted aphids (I think.) So I brought it home for some treatment. I am using a solution of water and liquid soap and I am spraying the plant to see whether I can get rid of the insects.

2010 Challenge - 3/7/2010 Thaw

1/500 f/9.0 24 mm ISO 200

Today we went to St Vrain's State Park to see the state of the thaw. There was no ice fishing as the ice is now starting to melt and thin.

2010 Challenge 3/6/2010 - Pearl Street, Boulder CO

1/250 f/7.1 24mm ISO 250

Saturday was a beautiful day. Kevin and I went to Boulder to enjoy the day.

It was warm and the crowds were out enjoying it. Street musicians played in the open air. There is a definite feel of spring.

1/160 f/7.1 85mm ISO 640. Flash: Bounce +0. Lens: The Usual (24mm - 85mm) Camera: The Usual (Nikon D700.)

Didn't have much time to photo today. So here I took a photo of an ivy slip growing happily in a vase of water. I do not have green fingers. But I can grow ivy!

2010 Challenge - 3/3/2010 - Circuit

There is always some gadget lying around. I was intrigued with this so took a quick photo.

2010 Challenge - 3/2/2010 - Doodle

1/160 f/5.6 85mm, ISO 250 Flash: Bounce +0. Lens: The Usual, Camera: The Usual

I did this doodle on the back of an envelope that came in today's mail. I thought it was interesting. I should have put the camera on a tripod and shot at f/8.

2010 Challenge - 3/1/2010 - Indoor Practice Field

1/500 f/6.3 24mm, ISO250. Lens: The Usual, Camera: The Usual

Monday I went for a walk around campus. This is the new indoor practice facility that recently opened.

2010 Challenge - 2/28/2010 - Alpaca Beauty

1/125 f/4.5 85mm, ISO 3200. Lens: The Usual, Camera: The Usual. No flash (so not to upset the Beauties...)

Today we went to the Alpaca show at the Boulder County Fairgrounds in Longmont. We've been to this show before, and have always enjoyed petting the alpacas and talking to owners and merchants about this fascinating cottage industry.

Alpacas just make you want to touch and hug them. So soft!

Gotta touch!

I couldn't resist these colors.

Yes! The sign says it all!
