http://www.liz4cps.com/Main/Photos/Pages/Spring_evening.html I went out to take photos of flowers for the first time this evening. It was a bit late for that kind of thing. My intention had been to wait until morning but the weather forecast was for rain and wind, so I decided to take my photos before everything was blown and washed away. I especially wanted to get photos of our neighbor’s cherry blossom tree and they can be fragile. My camera’s automatic flash wanted to go off every time; I wound up turning it on and off a lot. Most of the time, the pictures came out better with the natural light, but a few were taken with the flash. If the weather isn’t as bad as expected tomorrow, I may well try again.  http://www.liz4cps.com/Main/Photos/Pages/Spring_evening.html#0 abc49b6d-2d83-478e-8e1e-55d17c8e13e4 http://www.liz4cps.com/Main/Photos/Pages/Spring_evening_files/Media/DSC00732-1.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.liz4cps.com/Main/Photos/Pages/Spring_evening_files/Media/DSC00732-1.jpg?derivative=micro http://www.liz4cps.com/Main/Photos/Pages/Spring_evening_files/Media/DSC00732-1.jpg?derivative=mip <div style="padding: 0px;
