Week 8: Desert Botanical Garden

Today I went to the Desert Botanical Garden with my family.  There are so many beautiful opportunites for great photography there.

Cactus flower. I love the soft yellow color of it, and how dramatic the contrast is between the soft flower and the prickles of the cactus spines.

Desert chipmonk?? He was resting in the shade and let me get close enough to take decent pictures of him.  The shade does make it a little hard to notice him though.

Zebra butterfly from the butterfly exhibit. Beautiful.

Week Seven: Kids

Recently, I took some pictures of my niece and nephew, Jaymee and Jakub.  They are adorable, and when they are okay with a camera being pointed at them, I think they are very photogenic and cute to look at.

I like this photo because of how everything look colorwise.  Her shirt goes with the green tree and green grass.  However, she was biking faster than I expected, so I didn't do a good job at making it rule of thirds or anything like that. Nontheless, a cute photo.

My cat. He provides amusement for me and he's adorable, so he is often the subject of my fun photos.

Nap time!

Jakub, for once sitting still.

Diversity

I enjoyed finding diversity by the means of color.  I found objects that were the same but that showed diversity by being in all different colors.

Easter Eggs

Markers

And nail polish [:
