One of my favorite parts of this time of year is the beautiful colors that come with autumn. I decided to practice my photography skills, seeing these colors come in near my house, and took out my iPhone to take photos (L.O. 1, L.O. 4). Even before I played with the HDR settings, the colors were stunning, and I'm hoping they'll become even more vibrant in the coming weeks, but this beautiful season gave me a good opportunity to practice my photography skills (L.O. 1, L.O. 4).

Following my active experience in the Pennypack Park, I discovered that the Cherry Blossom trees near my block had bloomed, and they looked beautiful. Continuing to learn about photographing flora, I decided to pull out my iPhone, and take some photos (L.O. 1, L.O. 4). The photos turned out really nice, and I can certainly say that I've improved on my photography technical skills, using the ultra-wide angle lens on my phone in order to get more detail (L.O. 1).

It was the first day of the Flower Show, and I decided to go with my girlfriend. It was a very fun experience, and I got to work on my photography skills, photographing the various flowers and other displays, as well as the butterflies (L.O. 2, L.O. 4). Having another person with me made it a lot better, and helped me a lot with my photos and with having fun (L.O. 5). 

I was bored and motivated on this cold Saturday morning, so after going for a walk in the park, I decided to make pancakes by myself. I don't normally get up early to make myself and my family breakfast, but I decided "why not?" (L.O. 1). I started by going online and searching for a recipe, and I found the Wikibooks Cookbook recipe for North American Pancakes to be pretty solid (L.O. 3). I had to modify the recepie, since I was missing baking powder, but the pancakes still turned out good (L.O. 2).
