I was feeling blah this morning until inspiration struck...why does this always happen when I'm supposed to be cleaning the house? Hmmmmm? I was taking the trash out and noticed how nicely the sun filtered through the neighbors tree and splashed so brilliantly on the ground...That's all it took. I grabbed the fz30 and ran out the back door. Forget the house!! Those dishes aren't going anywhere!
At first I wasn't feeling anything. How many times have I wandered the back yard with an absent mind camera in hand?? A lot. In the end though, I was really happy with the results.
I'm feeling great now! Refreshed and awake! I think I might go clean the house.
