I love these window boxes. The contrast of the bright red with the blue trimmed window was more than I could resist, thus all these pictures... :-)
More clouds, and I couldn't resist taking a photo of the red door and red benches which are at the front of our friends' restaurant, San Q - same folks who own our favorite restaurant, Kohnami where we enjoy Saturday sushi. My hubby even decided that I could take his photo in Burro Alley :-)
Sunday was a beautiful sunny day, so hubby and I went to the Plaza and wandered around for several hours. Was so nice to walk around in the fresh air and sunshine, had a nice snack and iced tea, then resumed our walk. The clouds were incredible, and I couldn't resist taking countless photos... By the time we reached the car, it was sprinkling. All in all, a very nice day, and it gave me a chance to take photos with my new camera! Yay!

Today, mama got a new toy - well, actually a very serious piece of photographic equipment, at least for me. I'm not one who can figure out F-Stops and all the fancy stuff that highly technical cameras involve, so this camera is perfect for me. And it's a Nikon - how awesome is that? Already loving it, though today was rainy and we didn't want to wander around town getting wet. So hopefully tomorrow will be sunny cuz I'm hankering to take me some pictures! :-) I am hoping to get some dyn-o-mite photos of flowers that I can have canvas mounted in large format, and counting on being able to get some nice close-ups with my new camera! Wish me luck! Well, actually I just need to keep practicing :-) Either way, fun!!
