I bit the bullet today. I had to go to Best Buy to get a new memory card for my camera (mine died at a most inopportune time) and the tripod section caught my eye. I figured...hey, it's about time I invest in one and I did (I actually invested in two...a larger one and a mini one for jewelry photo's). So...before I started taking pictures with my tripod...I took a picture of my tripod!
And of course, I had to take some more pictures of my beautiful magnolia tree! It smells really good too!
