You know what one of the best things about getting reviewed by Ask And Ye Shall Receive is? It opened me up to a whole new bunch of really fun blogs. I still love the ones I have been reading for the past five months...now I'm just spending more time reading blogs (my family is oh-so-thrilled).
And one blog that I found through BlogRoll-surfing? Saintseester. And she has a Friday memey-thing that combines two of my favorite things: playing with my new camera and the word "fuck".
So welcome to my first "Fucking Floral Friday" post! (and 2nd post for the day - don't get used to it)
Disclaimer: I haven't had a bunch of time to play with my new camera and wish to remind you upfront that this is not a photo blog and I am fully aware that you are able to take better pictures than me. And that I suck. And that I used the wrong aperture. And they are out of focus. I know - you wipe your ass with piss-ants like me.
Feel better? Great - then let's go:
The hyacinths in my front yard. I don't think there is any chance that my old 4MP Nikon point & shoot would have caught the drops of water. Not the greatest job with focus, but oh how I wish you could smell them through your monitor. Pure heaven!
Flowers are one of many things that I like from behind and these daffodils are no exception. Anyone can appreciate the beauty of a flower when looking at it from the front. But like so many things, it is what is behind the facade which is most beautiful (ooh - that was deep!)
Yeah - there's flowers in the background...but this picture was more about showing you my husband in the hammock in the backyard with a fucking winter-weight afghan on him! It's 85 degrees out.... is he nuts?

He HAS to be nuts if he's married to YOU! 😉
Daisy
Min - those are beautiful! You COULD you know, actually make a word-free banner out of your pics - change it with the seasons and all...
Or not...

I love that your favorite word is Fuck, because apparently, my friends think that is my favorite word. And don't you LOVE those little water droplets on the flowers?
I know that you are going to have a ton of fun with your new camera.
Meg
I am so happy to meet another person whose favorite word is 'fuck' and who wants to 'favorite word-it' with Johnny Depp. And you drink, to boot. I think we may be soul-mates!
Maria
Umm yeah...you should love ME more. Pffft.
Tara R.
Hey... the photos were great... don't like the photo snobs get ya down!
summeralyssa
I want your garden. And your hammock. And a husband who doesn't whine when I turn the heat above 69!
Best I could do is a fuzzy photo of a mallard that just happened to flutter into my colorless yard...
So pretty:)

Jenefur: Hey!
Daisy: I'm still trying to remember how I got the picture all fuzzy/blurry. I think it was Picassa. My new camera came with photo editing software, but I'm not sure how well it works. I think that the whole thing boils down to being able to change things to a GIF. Can I even shoot pictures so they come out as a Gif, or is jpeg the default?
Saintseester: thanks for the idea! And I love the droplets!
Meg: yep - I'm just your typical suburban mom, no?
Maria: I thought you said that I could have first crack at him!
Tara: nobody gave me any shit, but I know that those pictures aren't nearly as good as they could be. It just takes time & practice.
Summeralyssa: I don't think that our thermostat has seen 69 (teehee!) for quite some time. We're both too cheap to put it over 65...unless it's the summer when it stays on 75.
