flukes.

fluke (n.)

1. A stroke of good luck.

2. A chance occurrence; an accident.

I went exploring in my backyard yesterday to see if anything had sprouted since my last visit (heh). I found some interesting things and got some lucky shots. Like this flower.

I love the color, but the picture is blurry. So later I went back to try and get a better photo, but I couldn't find the flower anywhere. It was gone. GONE. Never to be seen again. Odd. At least I got one picture...

And this one? Look closely.

Do you see the wasp (is that what it is?) in the corner? I was just taking pictures and then it flew right in and made it more unique, even if it is fuzzy. After I snapped this, I got the heck away from there. I do not like stinging bugs at all. No me gusta.

And here's another accidental shot:

My finger was in front of the lens (it's out of focus intentionally, though). I thought it looked kind of cool, a splotch of pink.

Okay, can I just say something? It was ninety-eight (98!) degrees today. You could probably fry an egg on the sidewalk in this heat. Yesterday, when I took these, it was nice, not as hot. Last Friday it was raining (see below). Can't the weather just make up its mind?

Something I love? The rain. I love the sound of it and how it renews everything, makes everything soft and green again. Beautiful.

Have a wonderful evening (or whatever time it is where you are when you're reading this). I have my first final tomorrow (Spanish). I'm not really worried but... Tengo que estudiar. Adios.
