Get out!

No sooner did I promise in my last post that I would get out to photograph things beside rock shows than I realized that a good time would be right then. So I did what every photography newbie would do - go up to Parliament Hill. Oh, and take a flower macro. There's a rule somewhere that says if you have a macro lens you have to take a picture of a flower with it ... might as well get this out of the way!

I took the requisite photos of buildings and statues - I'll post a few later - but it's touristy stuff. At least I didn't photograph a Mountie. I did photograph a remarkably nonchalant groundhog and this chickadee.

Flowers are pretty. And you can dispose of your empty bottle of hooch in the bed, too.

"We just got a contract to build a Presbyterian church - how did they say they wanted it?"
"Square."

I'll throw up some more pictures when I have a moment - which means it could be a while.
