Tulip Festival

Today we went to the Skagit Valley, about 60 miles north from home to see the tulip fields and took a bunch of great pictures.

The day was sunny and warm, the colors of the flowers were surreal, you could just feel lost admiring their beauty.

Blurred Water Creek

I have a new hobby: photography.

This picture was taking really near my place and it was taken using a very slow shutter speed setting to run the running water and with a high ISO setting to lighten up the scene since it was late in the afternoon.

This hobby is not exactly new to me, this is my second digital camera and I took a photography class during my master's degree.

My first digital camera was a Sony Mavica FD5, which used de 3 1/2" floppy disks to store pictures (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Mavica).

My new camera is a Canon Digital Rebel which is an entry-level camera but very amazing!
