Sacramento City Cemetery


Fence post
It may sound strange but I recently took a trip down to the old Sacramento City Cemetery for a few photo ops.  This cemetery is really pretty neat to walk around and they are known for their spectacular rose gardens.  Unfortunately, the roses were not much in bloom yet, however I got a few shots of some other flowers around .  Here's a few of the shots I got...Enjoy!

The Wisteria was really pretty and in full bloom.





I really liked the soft light coming through these flowers.

Hello Old Friend(s)!

Well, hello!  It's been quite some time, however with the looming rainy weather we have been experiencing lately I decided the timing was right for me to resurrect this thing.  :)  So many things to share, so little time...so I'll pick up with my latest "project" and we'll pretend to be all caught up!

I finally saved my pennies and made the leap into DSLR photography.  I LOVE my new camera and am utterly obsessed with viewing everything as a photograph.  Since I've had so much fun with my camera already, I'll share a few shots from around my little area and you can rest assured there will be many more to come.  I definitely have an affinity for macro and abstract photography so you won't see many landscapes or people in my pictures but I'll try to throw in a few of those from time to time as I explore more.  One day I will also have enough pennies saved for a new computer and photo editing software but until then these are just the raw un-edited files.

Here are some of my faves so far:
