Digital organic

As a challenge to myself I decided to test my lovely new Nikon D70 camera at Denver botanic gardens. I'm not really a flower person; skeletal flowers, yes, and I'm even tempted to take photos of fake ones! Real, proper flowers have been photographed beautifully by lots of other people though, so the thought doesn't excite me. I wandered around trying really hard to find images which took my fancy.

There and back again

My holiday number one is sadly over. I've had a truly fantastic time in Colorado, especially once I managed to get there! (Train delays, missed flight, a night at JFK...)
Much relaxing and tea drinking was accomplished, I really needed a total break. One of many highlights for me was an hour spent in a flotation tank (very wonderfully weird indeed) followed by a massage. I've also been doing utterly touristy things and have many, many photos to share (yay!) It's helped me find my creativity again.
Thanks to darling Mike for putting up with me :D and for the donation of a new (to me) camera!
One night at home, then off to Finland. Wippiee jetlag!

The Garden of the Gods was truly stunning, my photos don't do it justice at all. I found it hard to get a sense of scale, the rocks there are massive!
You'll be seeing plenty more photos of rocks from me though! :D
