My order from custom fabric company Spoonflower came in and I see throw pillows in my future 🙂

I want to live and/or dock my flying personal conveyance in this.

Today was pretty great. Took the new lens to the Butterfly Garden, where my hubby caught some great shots — more on that later — and hit a kickass and unexpected farmer’s market in Pompano (at the Fiesta Flea Market), where we got a pineapple, cherries, 4 packages blackberries, broccolini, spinach, mushrooms, French green beans, asparagus and 20 mini peppers for $18. Exciting stuff!

It’s….another sunset. Somewhere between waiting at Target’s pharmacy for nearly an hour and the (alcoholic) Firefly Iced Tea lemonade, I lost motivation.

It’s good to see that design still means something to a legacy brand that engenders generations of rabid fans.

We finally got the 105mm f/2.8G lens–I see much more macro in my future (and without macro filters!) and possibly more portrait work, since the clarity on this baby is frickin amazing. Maybe I’ll even break down and let my DH get me a ring flash. Eventually. (hold your horses, there, DH)

And here’s Darth Vader, taken from about 2 feet away (from sitting on the bed to looking at the nightstand). And yes, I see the alarming amount of dust on my nightstand, too.

Pearled barley. Some day, I’ll get around to doing a post on what this delicious, toothsome grain is and what to do with it.

I am in a picture & photo app rut.

I’m hoping the Lincoln Theater will turn into something really cool now that the symphony is down the block.

So, after visiting Monkey Jungle, seeing things like this

and getting manipulated by primates all afternoon into giving up our tasty snacks, we headed over to Cauley Square (historically the last railroad town in FL dating to 1910 or so). Where we saw a pack of 8 of these guys….

Raccoons In The Mist

I think these guys were the highlight of our day. Next time, I’m bringing snacks!!
