Mellow Yellow Monday - Blown Glass

I saw this blown glass sculpture hanging from a ceiling in a shop in Chinatown. It looked like a Chihuly but I don't know for sure. It was so beautiful, I had to get a photo.

Impressionist Bells - Guest Post by Dave Barr

Drumstick Heath - Epacris breviflora

Well, I never thought I'd be saying this after four months and after I finally finished paying it off, by my new camera just died on me yesterday. At first I thought it was battery problems but in the end it was just the camera. It always had a "heat temperature" problem which according to the manual was normal, however it became way too hot to the touch at times and I knew that probably something was wrong.

As I normally do, I have scheduled posts through the 25th of this month. I will hopefully by then have another camera. If not, I will soon thereafter. I'm sad because I loved this guy but I cannot complain because it gave me four months and over 2,000 photos.

What is funny is that yesterday, the same day 'Oly" died, I received a prolific blogger award from Chuck over at Secondary Roads. We were emailing back and forth about how this camera goes everywhere with me etc... and how OCD I am for posting everyday. Thank you Chuck, the award came at the right time.

So, I can hopefully resume my posting after the last scheduled one on the 25th. I will still continue to visit all of you and participate in the memes as well.

Thanks everyone.

Watery Wednesday - Waterfall in Golden Gate Park

Adjacent to Stow Lake and the Chinese Pavilion in Golden Gate Park is a waterfall which attracts many visitors. It resides amongst the trees and foliage on the side of a hill surrounded by rocks and stones which you can see in these photos. I've seen it many times but what struck me the other day was the white foam which in person looks like white lava. It had a very surreal look so I had to get some shots of the water. I wanted to take some video but my batteries were dying. I had already taken over three hundred photos that day. I know, I'm a snap happy shutterbug :)
