Kira's Photos

I've been into photography for as long as I can remember. Went digital in the summer of 2000 with a Nikon Coolpix 990. (Most of the photos in the albums below were taken with the Coolpix.) In 2004 I got a Canon Powershot SD550 for Christmas, and haven't looked back; it's a great little camera.

Unfortunately my picture-taking has outpaced my album-creating. I'm hoping to fix that soon though...

Anyway, here are some of my photos. Enjoy, and feel free to drop me a note about 'em. :)

• Travel pictures
• Flower pictures
• Misc pictures (cats, apartment, family)

My Dad is also a photographer (and so was his dad). Obviously it runs in the family. :)

Flower Pictures

	Feb. 19, 2002: My orchids are finally blooming. I love orchids, they're so simple and beautiful, and the blooms just last and last and last...
	Dec. 28, 2001: I bought this amaryllis as a bulb (already with sprouts on it) around the first of December. It bloomed on Christmas Eve, perfect timing. Not sure which variety this is, but it turned out lovely.
	Dec. 9, 2001: A close-up of the exquisite little flowers on my rosemary plant. I've never seen it bloom before, so discovering this today was quite cool.
	Beautiful flowers

Misc. Pictures

	Feb 21, 2002: A storm moves over Houston, with some pretty cool cloudscapes.
	The view from my apartment
