My sister Jeanne has been visiting from PA and it's been nice to see her. We only get to see her about once per year. Bummer, eh? We met one of her Flickr.com friends yesterday. We went to Nichols Arboretum in Ann Arbor yesterday to take pictures and spent about 3.5 hours strolling through and taking pictures. It was great fun. Janet has a VERY NICE camera! What a difference between hers and mine. She's enjoyed photography for several years so she can easily justify having that nice camera. We saw a red-tailed hawk, a red-bellied woodpecker, pretty sure a Baltimore oriole, many finch and likely some other birds but I can't remember. After the Arb, we went to Panera and had coffee and a scone and then to Barnes and Noble where I almost bought an insect guide. I have never been interested in insects but we were taking pictures of a dragon fly type but at the Arb and it peeked my interest. After B&N we went to Jill's and had a nice evening.
Today was mostly spent at Jill's. We ate, got a photography lesson from Jeanne and visited. It was nice. Tomorrow morning at 7 AM, I will likely meet Jeanne and Jill at Denny's where Jeanne is meeting another Flickr.com friend. Should be fun. Jeanne takes great pictures. She always carries her camera.
I'm uploading a photo to this post. Jeanne tought us to use Color Accent, a setting for our Cannon cameras (Jeanne, Jill and I all have the same camera). You're able to focus on one color in the photo and the everything else is muted. For this picture the setting was on red/pink because Jill was wearing a pink sweater. I love the look on Les' face and his body language!
