This wasn’t my mom’s sewing room. But it could have been. Visiting this room gave me the chance to think about my mom, which is always a lovely thing for me to take time to do.
(And also, that pattern piece is for a nightgown. I looked it up. Also you cants spell too much from those Boggle pieces, which somehow escaped from the rest of the game.)

The other weekend my friend Whitney and I went to see her parents who live on a farm near a tiny unincorporated community near Lubbock. After our visit with her folks, we walked around the farm and the best part of that was getting to see the variety of equipment that was stored in rows beside the house.
And that’s how I found this…thing.

And, to wind things up from my visit to the Springs Preserve, here’s one last plant. The plant’s nice but really the best part is the way the sun was hitting it, making that new green growth just about glow.

Oh, and that new lens? Also it does a lovely job with a bit of intentional camera movement.
In case you’d been lying awake at night wondering.

When I was traveling with a photography group last fall, a friend of mine let me borrow a lens – it was a very nice lens and I could tell why he was making it real clear that he’d loaned it to me. It was a 56mm, f1.2, and: wow!
And then, of course you know what happened: I had to get one for my very own. And I used it all day on my visit to the botanical garden; as it turns out, shooting short depth of field added some interest to these images that other lenses wouldn’t have gotten.
