I’ve been on a sabbatical of sorts (our company calls it renewal leave) since the beginning of the month. Today, I received these flowers from my co-workers, with a cute note about how they hope I’m having fun while they are “slaving” away.

What’s really amusing is that there is a heart-shaped helium balloon tied to the handle with I Love You written on it.

Gee guys, I didn’t know how much you really cared :).

But the timing was actually great, as I was itching to take some more photos. This gave me a great subject to experiment with some macro shots. See more on my Flickr page.
