It Was Supposed to Be Meat

Today slipped away from me, and I took this photo late in the day in horrible light, and I forgot to start my second 6 months with "meat" as I did the very first day on 365. I took two photos today...this one and a photo of me with my phone for Facebook to show the diligence of my Wii Just Sweat program with "myfitnesspal.com" -- middle aged, overweight, yada yada yada. Dang if it ain't hard to get everything in its place.

jThis little zinnia makes up for the lack of time to get a cool pic--not that I didn't have an opportunity (two hummingbirds visited the feeder today--males--ruby throats; my kids went to Petsmart and bought their own tanks for fish). Did I take the camera? Nope. Live and learn folks, live and learn--take the camera. Until tomorrow, enjoy a zinnia. I'm going to drink a glass of wine and call it a day! :)
You're selling yourself short...looks great, especially viewed large...great detail of that interesting center.

@luvmynynix I'm fine with it--I just wanted more for today and seriously, I was in Petsmart for over 3 hours today. 3 HOURS in PETSMART. I think I visited some personal level of hell. The kids were in heaven. And so it goes....lol.

This is so detailed!!! I love it! I am still going with my elliptical too! I burned off 450 calories in 30 minutes tonight--my obsession with food is making me work harder.

Gorgeous capture. You are hysterically funny.

Your sense of humor is a delight. Nice color in the flower. You can always take your camera and go BACK to Petsmart...
July 2nd, 2013  
Great red tones, and loved your story of the day!
July 2nd, 2013  
Aha! That well known Zinnia "meat" plant, eh? Nice one and well done on making it over the hump!
July 2nd, 2013  
Lovely shot. Nice colours and details.

I think its a lovely shot Fav Daryl

Another beautiful picture. Love the colour contrast.

haha, still a beautiful photo. I hate sweating - but I like wine! As for the moral of "always bring the camera with you", so true! I could make a book entitled "The Shots Not Taken" - but then the pages would be blank!

Lovely capture!

@anazad511 You are sweet. I like to laugh, that's for sure! :)

@rvwalker Thanks Ross! The sad thing is that we did go back to PETSMART to get some de-chlorinator (was told it was in the start-up tank and it was not). But by that time, I was just tuckered out and wanting to get groceries for dinner. We'll go back today, so who know's what I'll post! :)

Hope you are enjoying that glass of wine, I'd join you but it's a tad early!! Nice close up btw.
July 2nd, 2013  
so nice, especially viewed large!
July 2nd, 2013  
Congrats on 'meeting' the halfway mark. Like your carnivore shot disguised as a flower :-)
July 2nd, 2013  
@jo13 Well, as they say, it's 5 o'clock somewhere, right? I'm sooooo behind! Pulled a shot at last minute again today. Summer just screams "leave the computer alone!"

beautiful colours Daryl, funny how the day slips away and our first thought is 'I have to take a photo'
July 3rd, 2013  
LOL!!!!!
Love this shot, especially the focus and amazingly deep colors! Hope you enjoyed that glass of wine :)
