My very second close-ups.

I'm realizing that if I want to seriously pursue photography, I've got to make it my number one priority. I need to practice every day. And not just taking pictures, but editing them as well. I need to sign up for more classes and workshops, and cut back on the reading and the TV (sob). Even if it means taking pictures of random things I find around our apartment, like M&Ms.

So, with all that said, you might be seeing a lot more pictures. Like these...


One of my new favorites.




I just love these colors.


The Student kept harrassing me to take pictures of these trees. She insisted I would get some great pictures from all the pretty white flowers. So, we finally went. But as soon as we got close we heard something very distressing. The sound of dozens and dozens, possibly hundreds, of bees. Being terrified of any and all insects, it was really hard to get close enough to take this picture, but I'm glad I did. See what I'm willing to do for photography?


Something isn't quite right here. I think the flower looks... messy.

Now it's time to share your thoughts. Which ones are your favorites? Which ones make you want to vomit? Please, I'm desperate for feedback!
