Yes, I’m back in Texas. Longview to be exact. My Bulgarian adventure continues from the US this time.
I’ll be traveling to Washington D.C. this Sunday afternooon, arriving 12:30 am in the morning. I’ll spend the next day or two pushing my paperwork through the Bulgarian embassy, about a 15 minute walk from the condo my friends own. They have been nice enough to allow me to stay there for a couple of days (thanks Jeff, Don, and Dave).
In the meantime, I bought a new Canon PowerShot SX10 IS. I already own the PowerShot S5 IS (I think that’s the model) and I’ve always been quite happy with the colors you can get, especially daytime colors on the Foliage setting. But one thing I didn’t like was the inability to get really good closeups, with really sharp focus.
I took some experimental closeups of the flowers and bugs in my parent’s yard.
Here’s a closeup of my cat, Tonka, after I woke him from still another nap on the front porch.
And here’s a closeup of a dragonfly
