Beautiful Day for Black and Whites

As most of you know, yesterday (and today at that) have been abnormally warm for this time of the year... But you won't be getting any complaints from this girl! I am super pumped for this weather... because as I've mentioned more than once, if it's not going to snow and be beautiful in that sense, bring on summer weather.

Since it was so gorgeous out yesterday, partly cloudy, approx 70 degrees... I got an itch to go out adventuring the city to take some photos. Unfortunately, as pretty of a day as it was yesterday, the trees and grass are still hideous. I didn't take that many photos after all, but I did take some. I decided to edit them all as black and white, to take the hideous coloring of the environment out of the photos ;) I walked along the waterfront area close to downtown, but not quite at downtown... Near some parks where I could get some fun shots of one of the bridges. So, most of my few shots are of the bridge, some random railings, signs, swings, etc.  Nothing too crazy... but I'll be sure to post them to the blog. It might not have been beautiful green leaves/grass, but it sure was beautiful for black and whites.

I cannot wait until I can just be done with school, be working full time with a normal schedule (with no homework)... so that I can devote my weekends and evenings during the week to photography, among other fun things. Derek and I have two more wedding meetings this Saturday morning, and plan to spend part of the day photographing different areas in Cincinnati. Should be fun, I'd think. I'm hoping to be done with my GE work and homework by then so that I might actually get to enjoy myself... Wish me luck on that.

So for the late spring/summer/fall seasons, Alex and I have began coming up with a bucket list of fun activities we'd like to do. This list includes anything from kayaking and rock climbing, to camping out at the Gorge and going to Mammoth Cave... We hope to keep physically active during the week by jogging/walking/rollerblading in the evenings after I am off work, etc. Our bucket list is getting pretty big but it looks like it's going to be such an awesome time and I can't wait for the weather to permit us to start acting on it! :) Fun, active, enjoyable summer... here we come.

I should really be doing homework... or work work... Sigh. Guess I will get back to that so that when the girls get here later I can have dinner and Zumba time... By the way, Rupal, Annie, and I did Zumba last night.. a 50 minute session. A lot of fun, sweat, and yea... :)

Like I said, nothing fancy... just a few random fun shots...
