My friend invited my to her house at lunch time today so that I can see her "blooming tree" She doesn't know what it's called. I say Trumpet Flower Tree - LOL
A weird time for a tree to bloom - but they are beautiful.

and my friends baby, Indie, who is normally very shy, came out to visit.

I'm not normally a cat person but Indie was cute.
Also sitting in her garden was this fellow.

I like the processing on the laughing Buddha, a nicely lit, but fairly ordinary shot of a statuette becomes an interesting little pleasure. You've reminded me, I haven't shot flowers in a very long time, wonder if I can find some to shoot today (I am now at a complete loss for inspiration).
I love those trumpet flowers - it is an interesting time for a tree to bloom, isn't it? It looks like you found several interesting things to shoot yesterday!
Yup, I carry my camera in my purse so it is with me at all times. Lovely kitty picture - I am a cat person and like the B&W on a tabby.
You had asked about TTV Textures - I posted a reply on my own blog, and then thought, why that's silly, she might not see it! So posting again...
Layers or textures that mimic a Through the Viewfinder (TTV) capture - shooting through an old camera's viewfinder. If you do a search on Flickr, there are lots of people who have TTV setups and they get very cool results.
As for the running bit - on Saturdays I try to run 6-8 miles. During the week I only get in a little over 3 miles during the winter months. I've been running since '92 but took several years off when I first had my kids.
I like the laughing/happy Budda shot too. I feel happy just looking at him laugh ;)
Love the texture and lighting on this shot.
To be as happy as that Buddha!
