Poppy fields!

I had a pretty good weekend. :)

As most of you know, a few months ago I dropped the camera that a handful of you so graciously surprised me with a few years ago after my AX bag incident. I finally decided to buy a new camera and I ended up with the Canon PowerShot ELPH 300HS. After an almost mishap which included my roommate missing the delivery guy trying to buzz in and me having to pick up the damn thing myself, I finally had the camera in my hands by around 3 pm. (Thank you [livejournal.com profile] tidus_dream for mentioning that I could pick it up myself!) This effectively made me have to cancel a couple family plans -- one of which I didn't want to do anyway -- so that left me with...

Fuddrucker's!

For my sexy Fritter, [livejournal.com profile] eeveil's birthday. I've never had their burgers before. I think I only tried their chili cheese fries way back in high school. So thus, I accidentally slightly embarrassed myself when ordering…I didn't know you added the toppings and condiments yourself. >_>; Anywayyy, the burger was pretty good. It was nice and chill and it was great to see a few faces that I normally don't get to see! Happy Birthday, Eve! :D

Sunday was poppy times with [livejournal.com profile] super_no_1, [livejournal.com profile] random_karen, [livejournal.com profile] shuupoo and Russian!Anela. Nergene was kind enough to drive us girls out into the middle of nowhere. We had lunch at Marie Callender's which took way too long thanks to it being Easter, but food is food and food in tummy is even better! Well, minus their hollandaise sauce. It was grossss. Too thick. Bleh.

Afterwards, we were off for some butt-massaging, off-road driving! It was kind of hard to find a patch of poppies we agreed with. It seriously would look like it'd be an abundant and awesome patch, only for us to realize that they're not as densely cluttered together as they seemed from a distance. :( We finally pick a spot, step out of the car and wham! We were hit with like 40-50 mph winds, lol. FUN TIMES.

OH OH AND I TOTALLY ROLLED AROUND IN THEM. And consequently got a bajillion burs on my coat and myself. Ow.

It's a [livejournal.com profile] shuupoo!

Pretty clouds that ended up blocking our precious sun and turning into what looked like a cloud highway. O_o

Yeah I was thinking it was a cold day when you guys went but was hoping for some good pic opportunities for you anyway. Looks like you got a few very nice ones! :D Yay for new camera!

I'm glad I was able to get a few decent ones -- there was a glare on my screen so I couldn't see what I was taking half the time, lol!

Woah, your new camera takes amazing pics!! The cloud highway one looks so cool! :o

[identity profile] evanae.livejournal.com 2011-05-02 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm surprised by it, too! Point and shoots are just getting better and better!

That highway ended up like going past us, above our heads. XD It was crazy cool~

I actually kind of like the one of me traipsing through the flowers? It looks like the world is tilting and I'm trying not to fall off.

Thanks for taking pictures of me, dear! <3

I kind of like it too, I just wish you weren't so....tiny? But it does give a sense of "oommgg Kansas is huggeeee" or something. XD!

Any time~ Thanks for being my sexy model~ :D
