Fading Like A Flower?
A (don't know the name) flower. | Photo by: Hubby
This is one of my favorite pics that hubby has taken with his D-SLR camera. No, he isn’t a professional photographer yet and I doubt he will be because as far as the camera is concerned, he hasn’t used it more often as he should. The camera is just in the corner waiting to be grabbed and if only it could shout so to get hubby’s attention. And as far as my photography hobby is concerned, I’m afraid it has been set aside for the moment, too. Talk about too many things I want to do, too little time to do alltogether.
Anyhow, I feel that this blog of mine is fading like a flower (Roxette’s song) although the passion is still deep within me. Nah, I must say it’s just fading like the background of the flower in the pic. I am the one slowly fading in the background of my blog, hehee. But no, I’m not abandoning this virtual home of mine. I may not post for a couple of days but I’m still online to make a quick visit to my blog buddies. Although I wish I could post as regularly as before. Do I sound like I’m going on hiatus? Never, never! :-)

Hi Marlene,
I assumed that your hubby own a Nikon D90 right? He should practice using it more often to take great photos. The flower is nice and if he wants to know more about how to take great photo flowers, you can always visit my blog specifically at http://reptoz.blogspot.com/2009/08/macro-shots-on-orchids.html
p/s Are you fading from blogging? How sad…

Ugh, I’m always jealous with those DSLR cameras
But again, they are so big to carry that I’d still prefer my compact Ricoh CX2 camera ^^ It gives good quality of pictures, even though not as good as DSLR ones
It’s okay to take a break every now and then. Not to mention that you now have families and all that!

Hehee, actually we don’t have kids but I can’t seem to understand why we’re both busy and feels like we’re running after time. I can imagine how busy life would if we have kids.
