雨 桜 / Sakura in the rain
2008年 04月 01日
With the wind-storm today, and the rain during the weekend, the sakura will probably last only a little while more.
Islay and I went walking in the rain to see the sakura too! Wearing matching raincoats! Nice, yeah?
Can't open my eyes with the rain falling...
Today, I brought Amber to the park too, to take photos with the Sakura. Didn't bring Towser along, coz with the winds howling in this stormy weather, I coudln't predict how the cats would react, and it would be too much to handle 2 cats at one time. Besides, from the last photo session with the cats & sakura, I know Towser doesn't look too good with the sakura (!?!), and I want to take the cat and sakura and the blue sky, so that means I have to carry the cat in one hand, and take photo with the other. And Towser, 5kg, is so heavy to carry in one hand, too tiring! So Amber was the best choice! So it was with our 2 Falcors, Islay and Amber. And in the strong winds, they resembled Falcor even more today!! Amber I should say was fantastic, she wasn't afraid of the winds at all! I hope the photos turned out well, yet to check it out as I'm copying it now. Too bad my good camera is broken, can't focus with manual mode, so I can't get the blur image at the back. Will be sending it for repair on Thursday, but it's already past the 1 year guarantee period, so if it's too costly to repair, I might have to consider buying a new one... sigh... maybe it's time to upgrade to Canon Kiss Digital X2, since Islay appears in the pamphlet too? Another choice is to buy the same camera again, Kiss Digital X, since it's gone a lot cheaper now that X2 is out!!
