¡Pura vida!
Costa Rica beckons, with waving palm fronds and coconut-strewn beaches; with blistering tropical sunbeams and lush jungles, ready to swallow me up in one gigantic green breath. Take me now, you green mansions! I tremor with anticipation of your verdant embrace.
My camera arrived a couple of days ago. Can you hear the exaltations of the choirs of heavenly Seraphim? No? Such a shame. They've got quite a set of pipes between them, those Seraphim. I've been listening to them inside my head, singing the soundtrack to my life for the past couple of days. I could get used to this, I think.
Back to business. Were I forced to choose a single word to describe this camera, it would probably be 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.' Nothing else quite seems to do it justice. I guess I could go with 'legendary,' 'phenomenal,' or even 'sinfully indulgent,' (two words!) but you know, none of those are idosyncratic enough for my inner monkey. Get the picture? (Pun intended... Ha ha!) Truly, my focus (have i no shame!?) is that this is one fantastic piece of machinery! In a flash (!) of inspiration, someone decided to capture (!) the pinnacle of modern imaging technology in a tidy little package, addictive in both the functional and aesthetic sense. I love it!
Should you have a fast internet connection or overambitious curiousity, here is a sample image for your downloading pleasure. This photo has not been retouched, color-corrected, etc. It's straight from lens's mouth, so to speak. Impressive? I think so. Don't you agree?
Tsuga heterophylla: Western hemlock
I ate dinner at a friend's house this evening. This leaving the country in two weeks business has gone and wound me all up. It was good to take a break from all that craziness. Of course, life is just plugging along as usual at breakneck speed. Someone in class today mentioned that there's a new theory which proposes that the speed of light is steadily decreasing. Those of you readers with some knowledge of relativity might find this intriguing, as it seems to imply that time itself is slowing down. Personally, I think maybe human perception is just speeding up... When it comes down to it, what's the difference, after all?
Ah, my faithful devoted, I must adjourn to my slumber. Fare thee well in mine absence, that thy presence may once again grace mine blog, next I post. Oh, but parting is such sweet sorrow... Still, time waits for no man, and what's done shall not be changed 'cept by failing memory.
