and baby makes 6!

It's just another day in paradise

When I love her most

Sleeping cat

Sleeping cats are fair game to itchy fingers that want to play with their new toys while the rest of the house sleeps. Is that a run-on sentence?

I am the proud owner of a Nikon D80 with 18-135mm lens, purchased almost in full with my ad revenue, which makes it all the more sweet. I slept with it last night. I tucked it in, kissed it goodnight, then stared at it, lovingly tracing its body and lens with my finger, until I dozed off.

I have taken a few photos with it, but am forcing myself to use the manual feature so that I can actually learn how to use this beast, so my photos may stink for a bit. Blurred around the edges etc. This is a fast, powerful camera, and I want to get the most out of it. I can already tell the difference in the colors and contrast.

Survived a rough spring

Ignore the poor focus etc,. Like I said, I have so much to learn, but the camera!!! It is worth all the praise people are giving it.

See the “plower” and the little blades of grass….and the dew drops??

Morning dew

Knock me over with a feather. I am in lurv!

    Nice pictures. Can’t wait to see what you take when you really know how to use it!

  4. gosh I wish I knew how to take purty pics like that with a nice camera too. Personally, I just like to point and shoot. Too many buttons confuses me!
