not a lie

and there was cake.

And I ate the cake, and knew that it was good.

When I walked down to the river today there were birds of paradise clamouring to be photographed. Not the avian kind, but pretty just the same.

It is such a spring-feeling day that I was going to post an e.e. cummings poem, but then I realised I had already done so a couple of years ago. It is a day for optimism and also for being subjugated yet again by sunscreen.

I'll just finish by saying that I hope people also notice flowers that are not as glamorous and dramatic as birds of paradise, because I think they are every bit as nice.

I wasn't, actually.

There was a matching sign on the opposite side of the alleyway, too.

The camera's other lens, lookin' pretty.

It's fun to have a more wide-angled lens to play around with. I used to get so irritated when I wanted to fit more of my view into a picture.

Cloudy weather (and the different light that comes with it) is making me realise how much richer the colours are in pictures I take now, compared to the ones from my poor old point-and-shoot.

Incandescent light bulbs: enemies of the environment, arbitrarily aesthetically pleasing objects!

Today so far in a nutshell: woke up, felt unwell, got up, sat around, felt unwell, went back to bed. (Rinse, repeat). Realised it was late and I hadn't taken a picture. Went "Gargh". Turned on camera to be greeted by flashing battery light. Went "Gargh". Took a picture of the infinite corridor slightly strange corridor outside the front door and uploaded it before the battery died altogether.

At least there were waffles! (not pictured)

Tonight I forgot to take my camera out, so although there was some kind of educational something on that had filled the streets with children I did not get to practise my wildlife photography skills on them.

I was also unable to document the horror and chaos that followed the evening's record store rickrolling.

So here is a picture of chocolate with coconut in it. Chocolate with coconut in it is one of the best kinds of chocolate.
