Slightly Obsessed

Today was BEAUTIFUL.  It is so much easier to get up and out of bed when the walk to class actually looks like it is going to be enjoyable.  Today was really great picture taking weather.  I saw about 15 other people with cameras out today, so I didn't feel as crazy carrying mine around.  In a blog post a few weeks ago I mentioned a picture that I had planned out in my head, but that I had to wait until the weather got better to take it.  Well the weather I've been waiting for has finally arrived!  I have been waiting for a certain group of daffodils to bloom for what seems like 5 years.  This week when I was walking down college I noticed that they finally bloomed.  All I had to wait for was fantastic weather.  I definitely got it today.

My roommate came with me to take pictures today.  It was nice to have her with me today because I was doing some pretty crazy things, and I needed someone to laugh with.  Here is the picture before I go into too much detail:

Like I said, I've been planning this picture for weeks.  I was so excited when I finally got to take it.  To tell the truth, I was in a horrible mood today, but this cheered me up instantly.  Now, taking this picture was not an easy task.  First of all, the Old Main lawn was really crowded today.  People kept walking right in front of me and my camera, obstructing the view of Old Main.  It's not that I have anything against people, but I wanted Old Main in the background, not the backside of a kid in cargo shorts and an obnoxious red shirt.  While people were walking all over the lawn, I was laying down on my stomach right in front of this grouping of flowers.  It has been raining all week, so rather than laying down in some dry dirt, I was laying down in the mud.  Everyone that walked by looked at me like I was absolutely insane.  Maybe I am, I was laying down in mud taking a picture, after all.  My roommate just stood there and laughed at me.  The whole thing was pretty ridiculous. 

If you haven't realized this by now, I have a really odd obsession with taking pictures of Old Main.  My roommate was kind enough today to point out that it isn't the only building on campus that is pretty.  She is right, so next week expect a picture of something other than Old Main.  I also realized that I haven't taken any pictures of people.  It sounds weird, but I usually don't take pictures of people.  I took my sister and brother-in-law's engagement photos, and that was probably that I took well thought out pictures of people.  I'll try and work on that before the end of the semester!
