Sometimes, I have a picture-taking idea and it doesn’t turn out at all and sometimes I have an idea that I’m pleased with. I went outside with Sydney to take pictures of her in the fields of wild morning glories that have sprung up after the Hermine flood. On the way, our kolanchoe looked so red, I couldn’t resist snapping a couple.

The pictures in the pink flowers did not turn out as well since she was very distracted by the tall weeds tickling her nose and the smells blowing by on the wind…but we had fun nonetheless.


p.s. I should explain that sometimes, I have to manage my own expectations. The red flowers are about 6 inches tall, so the camera was sitting pretty much in the dirt and I couldn’t really see the view finder very well and had kind of taken it for granted that Sydney might not even be in those pictures much less be in focus. So, I was terribly pleased and surprised that not only was she in the pictures, but she was centered and in focus!
