It isn't screwed up this time!

Alright, I believe that it is Spring here in Tulsa now. But I'm watching you Oklahoma!

If you are curious about why I do not trust the weather, I direct you to my post two weeks ago and then to last week's post.

Well, if you are curious about the title to this post, it is because last year I took a similar picture of these tulips, however it was messed up by some dang ol' leaf. Even with the leaf, the picture isn't bad and is actually one of my favorites. If you ever drop by my apartment, you will see it on the wall.

One other thing I wanted to mention was that people are very appreciative if you offer to take a picture of their whole family instead of the mother or father being out of the photo.

Global Warming?

This was taken the first day of Spring near Fayetteville, Arkansas. Need I say more?

Spring flowers (I hope)

As a celebration of the first warm day here in Tulsa I give you a fresh shot of some fresh Spring flowers!

Well, actually, I have no idea what kind of flowers these are, they look sorta like tulips. So I am really hoping that these are flowers that grow during the spring and summer and are not something like the pansy which is a winter flower.

I like this photo because I feel they are fighting to bring Spring even though it is still a bit cool and overcast outside.

The actual first warm day here was last Sunday apparently, but I did not get to enjoy it, therefore it does not count and does not exist. In fact, I am going to forget Sunday existed at all since I was stuck in a van for 9 hours, 43 minutes, and 26 seconds, with only two stops. though let us hear it for Dr. Hudson, i have no idea how that man could drive to San Antonio and back with no music all by himself. And when we were going down there, it was in complete silence for 6 hours as everyone was asleep.

I think he is a robot.

The Cartooned Lion

I will never, ever understand an art person. EVER.

This week is the week I meet with my art project class and I presented yesterday, Tuesday. (Yeah yeah I know this post is late, I have "good" reasons for it.)

To clarify on my earlier statement, apparently shooting pictures of animals is taboo. You are not supposed to do it. Does this make sense to anyone? No? I didn't think so.

I forget what I did to this shot but it made the lion look kind of cartoonish, but I like that look so I kept it that way, so, here it is.

No griping in the comments about the late post!

Peekaboo

Went to the zoo last week to get some shots for whatever I am going to do for my art class. This was the first time in at least a decade I had been to the Tulsa Zoo.

Yeah....It looked a little worse for wear....

That aside, it was quite nice and fun because I more or less had the whole zoo to myself. Not even staff were around. This was partly because instead of going on the nice, beautiful and warm day, I went the next day when it was cold and drizzly. Eh, no big deal, most of the zoo is indoors anyway.

I believe they did this on purpose. Have you ever been in a deserted zoo? It's kind of creepy. As in a lot creepy. And the Tulsa Zoo has all these different exhibits set up on motion sensors. What this means is that I nearly had a heart attack several times. The worst was when I was walking through the elephant museum area and set off the switch that made some old timey phone ring. Gah! Oh and then there was the time I was off in some remote corner in a swamp area and set off the sensor to make African voices start talking and singing, this was bad enough and then I walked a few steps forward and saw a rather real looking manikin.

I promptly left that area.

When I was in the Rainforest I kept having this feeling I was being watched....

The duo

This picture was taken back during the Memorial Day weekend. Or is it Labor Day? It was taken in whichever of those two "holidays" is in the Autumn. I digress. This is a photo of my cousin who is taking a picture of something or another. I mean really? That's a pretty odd angle he is at!

And yes, that is a golf course behind him, Wichita State University has a golf course on their campus, I am jealous.

I keep telling him that we need to do some kind of joint work, even if it is him taking a shot of something and me screwing with it in photoshop. But he is too smug about his work to do something like that. Or it might have something to do with that time I took his facebook picture and made him look like a girl....

Anyway, check out his photoblog, he does some amazing landscape photography. Not to mention his occasional pictures of random stuff, like a road divider or factory, are actually nice to look at! http://jeremyjewellphotography.blogspot.com/

Bored Bear

Yeah I feel like this at least once a day, well, because.....

Monday: It's Monday, why would you not feel like this.
Tuesday: It is'nt Monday anymore, but the week is far from over.
Wednesday: The weekend feels like it was forever ago.
Thursday: Actually, Thursdays aren't that bad.
Friday: "Why won't this class end!"
Saturday: I sleep in which is nice until I realize I wasted potential fun time.
Sunday: Tomorrow is Monday

How bout you, do you feel like the bored bear?
