We spent the morning at the Franklin Park Conservatory taking pictures.  Not sure how many shots I had taken.  I think I'm going to need a prime macro lens to got some of the shots I really want, though.

A small craft that my daughter made at school today.  Some kind of Valentine's Day cootie, I guess!

This is the best vanilla!  One of these days, I'm going to break out some of those other lenses - I'm just loving the prime 50mm.  I'm not regretting choosing the Pentax K-x!

Edit:  I replaced the picture with the original from the camera.  The one I uploaded was really bothering me.

Same stargazer lillies as yesterday, but framed better and with just a touch of photoshop.  Technically, this picture was taken February 10.

Hopefully, there will be something besides snow to photograph . . . .

This is not a great picture, but I was using the 50mm with no flash, manual focused on the bit in the middle.  It was late, and I didn't want to take another picture of snow.  (And technically, this picture was taken on Feb 9 . . .)

I was waiting for Rachel, and I saw this rather sad looking mailbox standing there.  Poor thing looks like it was struck more than once or twice . . . .

 I baked 12 dozen Valentine's Day M&M cookies.  I think I've tweaked my base recipe just right, and the convection oven kept me from having to turn them every 1/2 cycle.  Only 6 dozen more to go!
