I posted on Facebook yesterday that Livia got a gorgeous floral arrangement delivered to her at school. I explained to her 2nd grade teacher that my daughter is blessed to have a talented aunt as a florist!

Here are a few more images of the bouquet—including the green flower that is the coolest and most interesting carnation I’ve ever seen. Note this shot is taken looking down into the arrangement.

Something else to note is that I snapped the photos with a new-to-me camera: a Canon Powershot SX210 IS. Purchased from a friend, the price point was just right while the features I desired were there (namely the ability to shoot in Manual mode). I’ve long wanted a camera to toss in my purse, something I could easily travel with. My professional workhorse—the Nikon D2x—is a giant among cameras and I protect him with my life. No purse-traveling for him. ;)
