Davis in Polar Vision

I went to picnic day this past weekend in Davis and had an incredible time. I was able to reunite with all my Budapestian loves (those who I studied abroad with) and we stumbled around the streets for 14 hours where students were partying and soaking up the sunshine. I imagined Davis to be that cow field off the 80 you see when driving home from a skiing weekend in Tahoe. In fact it was the exact opposite; there were lush green trees everywhere you turned with accents of poppies and flowers of other sorts. I was very impressed. Hence why I wanted to capture the events that fell before me. 
Unfortunately soon after my arrival I realized my camera was not working, or at least the button wasn't. Therefore I spent the entirety of the day with a naked neck. The next day I realized it was merely my autofocus that wasn't working and that I could have been photographing the day in manual focus. I was a little bummed but still didn't really mind because I got to focus on spending my day with the people I love. I know that sometimes I can go off in my own world and be antisocial because of my excitement over something new to photograph. 
I should probably explain why my photos look the way they do and why I titled my blog what I did. After I realized my camera was up n running, I took it with me to see the campus. While eating a crepe at lunch, my friend Glenn was wearing Polarized sunglasses which I was completely infatuated with. The effect in gave my camera was stunning and I could not put them down. I walked around Davis trying to give my camera sunglasses while looking like a crazy person. Here's some of my favorites:
