Summer preparations

(Haha, somebody's ready for summer. ;P) 

Storm clouds, hot humid weather, everything in full bloom, sunglasses, bright, cool clothing, flip flops, yep, summer is here in south Louisiana (though we could probably wear flip flops year around. ;) )

I'm looking through pictures from last year's summer camp that I've been a camper at the past 5 years. It was my first year as counselor, and yeah, I made a few amateurish mistakes. But I'm excited about this year, and hopefully I've learned my lesson and I'll be more of a help. 

This was a pretty cool flower that was there.

My thoughts are pretty jumbled right now ( which may or may not be the cause of too many hot tamales. ;) ). I had plans for this post, and now I can't seem to remember them. 

Oh I do want to thank Vicki and Hannah for their comments on my last post. I checked out those websites, and I really like photoflexer. I made a couple of headers, but I can't seem to get it wide enough. Oh well. I'm even considering keeping what I have now for a while. 

I've been pretty busy lately between working on this blog, making jewelry, reading Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy books (Yes, I still read them), and FINALLY catching up with some friends. I feel like I've been neglecting them lately, so I'm trying to call them more. I'm horrible at calling people. 

Yesterday we went run errands and when we went to Walmart, I got to visit my future external flash for my camera. When I get payed (hopefully on Friday) I can finally get it.

It's not made by Canon but it's for Canon and has quite a few good reviews. Hopefully now whenever I use the flash it will look more natural. 

I had been looking at a different bag, but while it was cute, it didn't give me much room for expansion. Also, both bags are the same price, but this one is twice the size, has better padding, and feels greater quality. That, and I can sling it on my back, and it'll be out of my way while I'm shooting. I'm afraid this will have to wait until I get more money though. 

Well, I have tons of stuff to do, so I better go.

What are your plans for summer?
