Spent a pleasant hour in the North Carolina Botanical Gardens yesterday afternoon. Everything was very green and very in bloom; so much color and so many interesting shapes to see.
On Tuesday afternoon, I got laid off — thanks a pantsload, economy! — and I’m looking at it as both a kick in the ass to find some sort of gainful employment that I enjoy more than I was enjoying my soon-to-be-ex job and as a much needed semi-vacation. Of course I have to job hunt, but I’m going to take advantage of the fact that gas prices are almost reasonable right now and do some exploring of the NC with the camera in the next few weeks. It’s not portfolio work, necessarily, but just a chance to breathe, outside, with a camera in my hand, just for a little while.
