I haven’t taken any applicable pictures this week unless my crazy wild girl counts as wildlife I post TONS of wildlife pictures here already so this was harder than you might think! So I’m cheating and posting pictures that I had already posted to my personal blog but not here. There is this awesome park in Austin where the peacocks just roam wild. They call the park home and they are protected. It was so much fun to go eat our picnic lunch there and play amongst the peacocks. most fun of all is that they were so used to people that getting really good close-up pictures was possible.

Funny story. I went to the botanical gardens today in blistering heat dargging along both my cameras (My P&S specifically because it takes WAY more awesome macros than my DSLR thanks to my distinct lack of a macro lens) specifically to get some good flowering photos but nothing seemed to be flowering! Lots of green but not much by way of other colors. Except the roses.

I really really dislike roses. A lot. They are so cliche. I am just not a fan. I didn’t want them in my wedding, I don’t want them for Valentine’s Day, I don’t buy them for my home. So of course the roses are what I had to work with.

Later we went to another park that had MUCH better color but I didn’t realize there were gardens at all on the grounds so I didn’t bring in my great macro-shooter. All I had to work with was my DSLR.

So the top two pictures are from the DSLR and the bottom, well, roses are from the Point ‘n Shoot.
