First Shot

I didn’t do a lot of photography on my walk today, but it was good to get out after sitting in a chair for over ten hours yesterday (on the audition panel for the opera company I play in). But if I shoot anything at all there is always a first shot. This is not something I’ll print, but still it was a lovely sight!

Filoli Opened Today!

I took a little trek to the place, and while there isn’t a ton blooming yet, I just find it so peaceful to roam the grounds. I did find hellebores, camellias, daffodils and few other things blooming. There was great evidence of things to come as well, namely the tulips! Those are always the highlight of the year. Below is my first shot of the day. Only after thinking I was about to head home did I look at my camera and realize I had the darn thing set wrong: I had turned the stabilizer off! Ah well. I’m going to guess I’ll have a lot of blurry photos. Sometimes that’s okay. Sometimes a little blur can be fun to work with. But sometimes not. Only time will tell.
