The other day I went to Taco Bell for lunch. Just behind the Taco Bell is a little piece of undeveloped land between the parking lot and the first house behind the restaurant. (I use the term restaurant loosly, as it is a convenient place to grab lunch, but not exactly gourmet dining!) Anyway, this is what I saw while I was parked there trying to eat, but more interested in taking pictures!

When I went back to the flower shop (a little late...) I brought my camera in for a little show and tell for the co-workers about how I spent my lunch, one of the designer's must have been impressed by the big IS Zoom lens and asked me to take some pictures of party flower arrangements that she was making. Well, the flower shop is not the best place to take pictures because of the cramped space and clutter of the back room and the flourescent lighting, but I tried to be as creative as I could, considering the boss was also looking at me like I was wasting valuable time on the clock! (However the next day I brought in the prints and he wanted to have a set of them to show to customers... go figure!)
Anyway, here is what I took, they could be better, but I only had a few minutes to take them...

Thanks for looking.
