I love taking photos with my digital camera. Give me a botanical garden or a meadow with lots of flowers, and I am a happy girl. Ditto for interesting architecture, beautiful landscapes, or animals (especially the ones that sit still).

I got my first digital camera in the spring of 2001. Fast forward nine years, and I now have over 30GB of photos gathering virtual dust on my hard drive. Granted, the vast majority of those should just be deleted, but some turned out OK, so I decided to go through my collection and post some of the better ones.

Enjoy! (Or, alternatively, cringe in horror and henceforth skip all posts categorized under “random photos.”)
