So it's an over cast half rainy half not rainy day. I have x2 kids home sick.
Both asleep, I'm bored.
So to entertain myself, I like to take photos of nothing interesting at all.

I like these. Ok, maybe not that alien plant thing, but I like the others.
I do take shots to amuse myself, too. Quite often. I have way too many shots of my dog sleeping. :o

Great shots. Not much I can say about critique. You've got the focus spot on with great use of background blur as well as good brightness, brilliant colors, and contrast.

I thought that's why we all take photos? :P
Or maybe its why we read POTN? I forget which is which...

I like all 4 photos - they all offer either color, texture or shape... The candy shot looks really cool.

haven't done the battery tests since i got it back to ensure the issues are gone, but so far looks good (from what little time i've had to play with it).

: O, well that really sucks, you did so much studying to eliminate this possibility. But at least canon found a problem, and your not crazy.
Congrats buddy! That things is going to rock for indoor sports ( I'm sure the girls are playing B Ball)!
