Why you should have charged batteries always available, part 1

Some new flowers bloomed in our backyard a couple days ago. And I just couldn't resist.
So here we go, more flowers with low aperture settings (F2.7, I think):

The reason I haven't been posting this time, (I know, I know) is because there are no batteries to be found in this house. Which brings me to the thought that it is really useful to have batteries around, even if just a couple, to make sure that you don't miss those moments that you will want to remember for the rest of your life or those things that are so beautiful they make you want to laugh and cry and sing.
A few weeks ago I saw the most wonderful sunrise. The whole sky was bright orange and the mountains were covered in white snow. And I missed it because I did not have my camera with me, and I did not have my camera with me because I knew that I had no batteries in it.
P.S. My personal favorite is the very first one, because it seems brighter than the rest and quite cheerful. Coincidentally, it is also the first picture I took, but I took more because I wasn't completely satisfied, which goes to show that you should wait until you transfer the photos onto your computer to make deleting decisions, unless, of course, the picture is really blurry in the small screen in your camera, in which case you can be sure it will be even worse on the computer.

Flowers


These are old pictures, but considering it's cold and dark outside I rather feel like watching these bright, pretty flowers. Also, considering that I took these with my old camera, I think this pretty much proves that you don't need an amazing, expensive camera to take a decent photograph.
