teapot island

over the weekend i cycled with my dad to a place called teapot island
there are a lot of teapots, but it's an island in a river so there's a weir for boats

pairs

a pair of tangled lines

cappuccino

this was also inevitable
these are coffee-flavoured mini cupcakes with vanilla butter icing that i made yesterday to look like tiny cappuccinos

pier

i like looking at parts of things rather than the whole thing

petals

just a couple flowers in our garden (before the rain)

raindrops

flower macros were bound to happen. this time it started raining.

anole

surprise! it's a lizard

celebration

celebration, florida - a place that is eerily perfect

pairs

a pair of tree trunks

sail away

some more photos from yesterday's trip to deal

english coast

the shore-front of deal, near dover, england.

a cycle sign with the nearest towns.

this is where i was today (oh, the magic of digital cameras)

orlando

the orlando skyline, taken from the new amway center. (yes, this is literally all of the buildings) (ok, maybe there's two more)

hiding objects

this one is kind of cheating, because zach took it. but i told him too so it still sort of counts.

to make up for cheating, here is one i did take of a creepy owl

i like that both these things are hiding. i'd never seen the owl before even though i'd lived across the street for 8-ish months. and overgrown signs are fun.

fan

this little guy was in wekiwa springs, just north of orlando, and was only about 8 inches tall.

new start

i have decided to make this a photo blog. a simple collection. that means i don't have to come up with anything to say, or if i want to, it can be super corny. we'll see where it goes.

now to start off:

the last discovery shuttle to go into orbit, from the viewing station. (the orange tip is all you can see)

i took a photo of it actually taking off, from a nearby-ish beach, but the photo-developing people decided that particular photo of the sky was not something i really wanted and threw it away, despite there being a clear completely-vertical line of exhausts center frame. i'll just have to remember it with my mind.
