I have a new camera, and yet no light, flowers, or leaves

It was a nice week or so after the snow melted; sunny, somewhat clear-skied, good lighting, etc. My new camera arrived on Thursday and it's been raining and drearily overcast ever since.

So instead of going into town this afternoon and taking pictures, I was stuck in a bike shop, standing there while my husband fixed my bike (which liked to buck the chain while I was riding, so that I'd change gears and the pedals would pedal no more). So I'm very thankful that he did fix it. However, nipple tweakers (har) and pliers usually aren't the things I most prefer to photograph. I guess we all have to start somewhere.

I can't wait for spring.
