Sunrise

This is the sunrise from Thursday morning taken from my backyard. The sky was on fire. I ended up being about 10 minutes late to work because I just had to take some pictures. (It certainly doesn't help that I can get up, get dressed, take a shower and dry my hair in 20 minutes or less, so I usually am cutting it fairly close anyway.)

I've been trying to force myself to take pictures lately, but I feel limited because one of my lenses broke. It was the crappy little lens that came with my camera that I didn't use all that much, but its absence leaves a huge hole in my total focal length - it was the 18-52mm. So now I either have my wide angle (10-20mm) or my telephoto (70-300mm). I'm definitely feeling the gap right now (21-69mm), with no replacement in sight any time soon.

So if you notice many of my pictures as of late are zoomed way in, that's because they are!
