I'm Back!

Went to church on Sunday and found out that my friend Quinn had just purchased a brand new Nikon D200 with a 80-400mm VR lense. Needless to say, I was jealous and wanted to see that thing in action. We headed down to the zoo after church and spent a good 4 hours walking around.

Those who know me know that I am built like a polar bear so the 26 (78F) degree temperature combined with the humid greenhouse housing the butterflies made it a most uncomfortable experience... but it was worth it. Not so much for the butterflies (it was too hot, they just couldn't stay still) but for the plants. I think my 3rd or 4th college degree will be in botany/horticulture. This little beauty was a lily, sitting on its own lily pad in middle of the pond. I can't tell you any details about it as I didn't bother looking for the label, I was simply entranced by its beauty. I love art, and God is THE artist.
