Just a couple of pink tulips.

This being my first visit to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, I didn’t expect a lot. Aside from the great landscapes, the cherry blossom trees & the relaxing atmosphere, it was a fun stroll. I even saw & chatted with some of the members of the Brooklyn Camera Club.
Here’s a tulip, don’t know what specie this one is though.
Looks like this hobby of mine is rubbing off on someone. 🙂 Well, not that she has any say in it because I left her for like 30 minutes at the park last Sunday looking for the loo & she killed time mashing the shutter. Good job!
I guess it’s common knowledge for New Yorkers that Manhattan isn’t “bladder-friendly”, that is, you’d be hard pressed finding the loo. So, having been in NY for quite sometime, I should’ve at least have learned this.. Coffee (or other diuretics) + (extremely) Cold weather + NY = bladder nightmare. Still, a caffeine junkie won’t be a caffeine junkie without caffeine now, no? (redundant, no?).
We went on a road trip today that encompassed three states. hehe.. Here’s Jao trying to figure out how to work the binoculars at Barnegat lighthouse. And also, a trackback to his vids @ YouTube. He recently won the foul shot contest at school! Check it out at his site. 🙂
What’s the newest exercise fad you can think of right now..? Yoga, pilates, cardioboink-boink(okay, I made that up).. the list goes on and on and on (like the Energizer bunny). For me, I guess my latest hobby (shutterbug) would be my “exercise fad” right now. Given the option of running (or jogging) outside or being a couch potato, eating chips while watching dvds all day long, which would you choose? I guess you’ll pick couch potato, am I right? I would, but nooo, I chose to get out in the freezing cold & walk miles & miles & miles, like the Energizer bunny (see the trend here?) just to shoot some birds. They weren’t really my objective, actually, I really didn’t have an objective. I just decided on a place (Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn) and wandered around the neighborhood, shooting like mad (just kidding).
(Ooops! I tripped!) I’m guessing that this shell will be the first thing you see after falling flat on your face while strolling the beach.

Dog Walking
Aww.. poor bird.
Three days barely passed and here I am shooting at anything I find interesting. Luckily, we were invited to my aunt’s place in New Jersey and had the opportunity to go to Atlantic City. While taking a walk along the boardwalk, we parked our behinds and took a break. Three days, ain’t enough to make you a “bird man” (bird photographer). As far as I know, bird shooting requires some serious equipment but we chanced on a few birds and enticed them with some crumbs for a li’l bit of impromptu bird shooting. But I guess feeding time is not the best time to shoot them because they get so frisky, most of the shots I got were blurry. I kept thinking.. “Quit moving, dammit!”
