two more

Apparently Picasa will only let me post 4 photos at a time. Bastards.

An orange growing in Detroit! I wouldn't eat it.


Oh agave...why are you my husband's best friend?

sunny belle isle

The sun is finally out here in Detroit so I dragged Jesse over to Belle Isle to take some photos. Unfortunately, the cold weather must have affected my eyesight because the photos I took outside didn't really turn out very well. I kind of think it wasn't all my fault because I'm pretty sure I had the lens on autofocus for those photos. We went to the Conservatory and those turned out better.

This one is for Joanna!

this is my favorite

Jesse's co-worker found out we were getting a Canon SLR and gave us a super zoom lens for free. I'm not sure I'll use it much because it is huge and super heavy. At first I thought it would be perfect for baseball games since our seats are in the upper deck (not to be confused with an upper decker) but Jesse's other co-worker said his friend had a hard time getting into the stadium with the lens because security thought he was a professional photographer. I'll probably try to take it at least once. If security thinks I am a professional photographer then I guess I'll take it as a compliment. And then I'll get really pissed and indignant and probably won't ever be allowed back in the park. Anyway, I tried out the lens the other night. This is a photo of the teeny tiny disco ball that is hanging under the light in the dining room. I took this photo sitting on the couch in the living room. I guess I should take a regular photo to show some super zoom perspective. But I'm lazy.


The other night I was laying on the floor taking photos and Willie Horton got right in my face. I thought this photo was funny because you can see part of her face and Barbaro Garbey looking all nosey. I think Jesse isn't very happy that we spent so much money on a camera and all I do is take photos of the cats. I told him that if we have a kid someday then I will stop taking photos of the cats. Hopefully the kid is cute. Otherwise, I might have to continue taking cat photos.


Just to prove Jesse wrong I decided to take some outdoor photos. This is the tree in our front yard. It has been pretty snowy here. Snow makes Detroit pretty. Too bad it also makes Detroit cold. I had all these plans to drive around town taking photos but damn, it's cold! I took this one after I shoveled the sidewalk so I was already out.


I ordered a lovely Lowepro SlingShot 100AW camera bag. I think I will really like it because it seems sturdy and doesn't scream, "LOOK AT ME! I'M A TOURIST WITH A CAMERA!" The only problem I have noticed so far is that for women and men with boobies, the strap you use for extra support is a little, um, uncomfortable. It either has to go under or over your right boobie and either way, it looks a little funny. It might be okay if you have really little boobies or really big boobies but if you have my size boobies, it's a little awkward. Luckily the bag is comfortable enough without using the strap and I doubt I'll be going on any super long hikes that would require the extra support. And if so, hopefully I will be with someone with really little boobies or really big boobies and they will be willing to carry the camera bag for me.

weekend fun.

We got a lot of snow on Friday but not enough to keep me away from Alan Trammell. He was signing autographs at the Livonia Mall. I miss him and still feel like it wasn't completely his fault the Tigers sucked ass.

After we hung out with Mr. Trammell we went to Joel's and Amanda's to have some record fun. We didn't get as in to it as the photos on the link there but it was still hysterical! If you have a friend with a million records, you should try it sometime.

There's a really funny photo of Joe Walsh that I want to post but I think I had better get someone's permission first.
