Spring has arrived!

Tuesday was a bit cooler than it had been, but it is still spring around here. Cari and I took advantage of my day off and headed to Falls park in Greenville.

It was one of those mornings that you start to wish you had stayed in bed. I was kinda grumpy and things just kept slowing us down. I loaded up some geocaches and typed up the list in Word. When I tried to print the sheet, the printer was out of ink. I popped in a cartridge and it still wouldn't work. I called Epson customer service. It turns out that I have a defective cartridge and will wait for them to send me a new one. Cari started to hand write all my notes and I went to get ready.

We were at least thirty minutes behind my goal as we left the driveway. Once we arrived downtown I followed signs that said "PARKING". I pulled into the parking garage to find that it was not public parking. The garage belonged to a private company and they only opened it on the weekends. I really wish their signs had said that. I squeeled the tires as I left their stinking private garage. We went back into the streets and found a public garage.

Once we got going I started feeling much better. The flowers and trees were blooming, it was quiet in the park, and the sun was shining.

Cari found a small turtle laying on the path. We took some photos of it and put him in the river (near the top of the falls). He didn't move and I wondered if he was dead. Later we stopped in to check on him and we saw him digging in the mud.

Cari and I also found a few geocaches as we had a great time walking the park together.

That night I met with the bride's parents for the wedding I shot last month and they ordered a ton of prints. That means I got to order a new lens for my camera!

What I learned on Tuesday is to never give up on a day because of a rough morning. You never know what the rest of the day will bring.
