Typical Monday

A Blog About Life, Photography, Travel & Food.

Well it has been a typical Monday, one thing after another.  For some reason my laptop and my printer decided they did not like each other anymore.  I spent half the day trying to get them to make friends again.  Windows did another update so I had to do a system restore to get my laptop to work again. 

We have to pay in to Uncle Sam this year.  I can't remember the last time we got a refund.  This is the price you pay for getting your Mortgage paid off I guess.  No good deed goes unpunished.

Yesterday at ODark Hundred (early) I attended another Meet Up Photography event.  We got to go into the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory before it was open to the public.  They allowed us to use our tripods until it opened to the public.  So, I was in heaven for 2 hours.  Photographing flowers is my absolute favorite thing.  Here is a link to some of my shots from the event.
