Saturday I had my first good walk of the year, out to the arboretum. This time of year isn't the most beautiful, but I love it a lot more than some. Imbolc, Candlemas, Groundhog Day. It's a time when the very first buds of spring emerge among the decaying remains of the year before. There is no death, because there hasn't been enough time for anything to die. It is a thin, fragile moment.

Lisa, did you take a photography class to get your pictures to look as well as they do?

No, I just read a bunch and messed around with my cameras a bunch. (I do have an expensive camera, but my cheap little point and shoot does some amazing stuff. I just can't manually focus the damn thing. ) This trip, I actually feel like I leveled up, at least with regard to f-stops. (those determine how much of the shot will be in focus. I've been stubbornly sticking with extremely narrow fields of focus, but I'm finally figuring out what is appropriate for each shot.)
And I take lots and lots and lots of pictures and pick out the best.
