Good morning Neverland!

This little beauty is in the garden center at work. I took my camera to work yesterday to catch a few shots of some really pretty flowers. This is an african daisy. My friend Linda said that I should make prints of some of my pictures and sell them on e-bay. Personally, I don't think anyone would spend money for something like this, but what do I know...there are people spending thousands of dollars on a cheese sandwich with a scorch mark that "looks like" the madonna.

Just wanted to share this morning...have a wonderful Thursday! Love me.

Ahhhhh Instructions

It's funny how much you can learn if you only read the instruction booklet! Now that I found out how some of the settings work, a whole other world has opened up. I need to get a tripod for some more detailed, up close and personal pictures. I have ideas running around in my head for shots I want to take. I wonder if there are classes I can take to get better at this? Of course, I also have to take into consideration the vast amounts of photos I'm starting to accumulate and where the heck am I going to put them all! I don't want to be that person people avoid because of "family pictures".

Anyway, I just wanted to pass along my enthusiasm and joy in finding a new toy.

Happy Tuesday...love me.

Amazing!

Wow! I started reading the instruction booklet for my camera and found out that I can actually take a picture of something, specify what item I'm focusing on, and that item will be the only item in color and everything else will be in black and white! Now for all you camera experts out there...shut up! This is really an exciting thing for someone who only has a PHD mentality (push here dummy). Now that summer is beginning to come to a close, my garden is starting to blossom into all kinds of different colors that I'm just now discovering. I didn't pay much attention last year as I was so involved with doing the little things that come with owning a new house. This year I'm starting to pay attention to the little things and it's really cool.

I hope you all enjoy my new-found discoveries and get at least a touch of the joy I'm having in finding them.

Love you all...me.
