green

the weather has been absolutely gorgeous this week... high 60s and 70s... February in VA makes me happy. so today i went looking for something green and growing cause i was convinced that spring must have come early this year. :)

so. in the middle of studying for my chem final yesterday, i saw these dragonflies on the holly bush outside our window. what i appreciate about homeschooling is that i could take a 15-minute break to go photograph them. :D

there were about 4 of them...

and they were all this gorgeous electric blue color. ^^

and apparently they were out there hunting because this one flew off and came back a second later with a white moth in its mouth. it proceeded to chew it up. and swallow it.

random water drops. :D

so. i was [veryyy] upset yesterday... because we thought we were going to have to wipe our mac's hardrive. with all 4 year's worth of my pictures on it. i had never really realized how much losing that many pictures would mean to me... i don't really record my life in a diary; i record it in photos. so to lose that many memories and all of my photos was sort of heartbreaking.
BUT.
thankfully my amazing Dad saved the desktop from death and all of my pictures. :) so now i've learned a lesson and am going to back them up in 3 different places.

these are 2 photos of the hasta plants that Dad planted by our front porch. i had been planning to upload these and then was devastated when i thought they would be gone forever cuz i think these are kinda cool pictures. :D

i really like the... depth perception (?)... of my camera and the spiral that it made in this one. :D

this one reminds me of a giant caterpillar. :D

el sol

i'm convinced that the sun is a natural antidepressant... i love it. sunshine is one of the best parts of spring/summer, and i love how it changes the subjects of my pictures. so.. i take a lot of pictures of it. [haha. although this is sometimes bad for my eyesight.]

el fin.

maybe winter is over... i found some green shoots outside. it's 51 degrees today and the birds are all singing.

i miss spring...
