Birthday Girl

A lot happened today. For starters, for Kendle's birthday I photographed some white spider mums. We had talked about this project a long time ago and I thought it was the perfect time to surprise her with a collection of photographs I had taken. I had to have one last round at a mum before I gave her the flowers at her little birthday get together. [photos 1 through 4]

Next, I helped Hank take some photographs (which I really hope turned out okay. I don't mind going out there again if they weren't very good...). At any rate, I took a few photos while I was on my way to the church, there, and on my way back. The desert was looking so good yesterday in the late afternoon sunlight. [photos 5 through 8]

Then I went to Kendle's party! We had a grand time. We are a funny batch of people, let me tell you. [photos 9 and 10]

Kendle, let me tell you, I have wanted to blog your mum photographs so badly. The thing of it was, it would totally ruin your birthday present. Without further ado, here is my favorite photo that I took of the mums for your birthday project. (It's separate from the actual blog post because I took this on Wednesday.) :)

Desert Delights

These are from the back yard. Apparently, that really nifty pink/purple flower is on a neat little cactus called an Easter cactus, featured behind the flower in photo 1. Mom taught me that one! My parents are never at a loss when it comes to plants, which is helpful, because the desert plants are all looking beautiful right now, which is kind of a nice compensation considering the winter flowers are on their way out. I'll miss the sweet peas, snap dragons, venidium, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Macki came to visit. A woman from the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum came to my optical science class to talk to us about animal vision [which is freaking cool, by the way]. Well, I told Mac all about it, and since I had never been to the Desert Museum we decided to go! These are the photos from that adventure. It was a fun-filled Saturday!
