Photo 37/365 – Tulip Reflections

I was pleasantly surprised with the new Raynox macro conversion lens. I do hope to ‘graduate’ from the Canon S5IS in a year or so.. but for now, it’s turning out to be a fantastic little camera to learn about photography :) I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present. And.. it was nice to actually get a birthday present for a change..

Speaking of getting something ….  I got a notice from the post telling me I had a package waiting to be picked up.. strange, I thought.. as I hadn’t ordered anything – or at least not that was to be delivered this week. I must have thought a million things it could be when I was waiting to go get it.. mostly bad things, of course.. because thats the way I think. Winning something was the absolute furthest from my mind. When I got there and the post lady brought out this huge box.. and I saw Sci-Fi channel written on the side… I was over the moon. I could’nt wait to get back to the car to open it! :) I had won something.. and it really didn’t matter what it was.. I was thrilled to have won ANYTHING! It turned out to be a Jericho Survival Pack.. which was a wooden box with Jericho written on the top.. and inside was a bottle of ‘Jericho’ water, a small package of tim tams, a tin of baked beans, a t-shirt, some sci fi postcards, a sci fi flashlight and Jericho poster.. I am thrilled to bits over winning something!!!! :) YEAH! and it was great that it was for a show that both, G and I really like! Today has been nice..

Wow… I can’t believe this is my 31st photo entry!! Yeah.. only 334 more to go!!

I bought these lilies on Thursday late week. None of them were open – and it didn’t state what colour or kind they were.. so they were a bit of a mystery.. I was pleasantly surprised when I found the first one open! They are just stunning. The white ones I had a few weeks ago were beautiful…. but these are breath taking! I adore the black polka dots on them! and the fact that the smaller ones have opened and are a yellow colour! soooo pretty.I hope they last as long as the white ones. The one thing I noticed… whilst they are more beautiful than the white ones… they have zero smell :( The white ones filled the entire house with their sweet perfume. Oh well.. I love them just the same!
