This photo is one “from the archives”.  I sent my camera out for a good cleaning because there’s dust on the low-pass filter.  It leaves unsightly spots on my photos, and I wanted to have it taken care of before Angelina arrives.  So this week, and possibly for the next week or two, I’m using recycled photos.

I took this photo at the Groton Farmers Market at Williams Barn last summer.  I look forward to the start of the season every year.  In addition to all the local produce, there are a variety of baked goods, flowers, and even handmade soaps and the like.  I loved the way this one vendor had arranged her sunflowers, so I just had to snap a picture.

Every winter we get a few of these little buggers deciding to take up residence in our house.  They’re cute enough when they’re up near the ceiling out of reach.  Get too close, though, and…ugh!  They’re just as ugly as any other bug!  I was brave enough to get even closer with my macro lens in hand.  Zoomed in?  You guessed it…even uglier!  But…doesn’t the head kind of look like an angry Goomba from Mario Bros. fame?  No?  It’s just me then?  Humph…

Okay, I’m cheating a little bit with this first one. (What, only the first week and she’s cheating already??) I actually took this photo back in October, but I haven’t had a chance to showcase it yet. I think it’s kind of cute. It’s also one of the photos I took that inspired me to start this project in the first place, so I think it makes an appropriate first picture. I promise the next one will actually be taken some time this week.  :)
