Catching Up... How We Spent Spring Break

Spring Break provided an excellent opportunity for me to play with the new camera.  Avril and I decided the beautiful weather warranted a hike through Ledges with the kids. 

The Lost Lake trail is my favorite hike when I have the kids with me.  There are a lot of beautiful views and scenery.

Lucy is a lot easier to photograph than Sam for some reason.

Boys will be boys

After our hike we ventured down to the river in search of Avril's dad.  The boys had a grand time skipping rocks.

Nanbaby had an even grander time playing with the rocks

Nan and Hunter appear to be the making of life long buddies.

Finally we found Avril's dad and it was time to head home.

New Camera

I wonder if I will ever get back into the swing of blogging again?  There is one thing that should help me out, I finally bought my dream camera in March.  For those interested in the specifics I bought a Cannon EOS Rebel T2i.  This has turned out to be the perfect beginner DSLR camera for me.

Below are a few of the images I captured during my first week of getting to know my camera. I expect my next camera related purchase will be Photoshop. Until then I am happy enough with the results I get before editing.

Sam poses so pretty when I have the camera out

I was actually standing up when I took this photo of the ball on the ground

This is the first photo I took of Nanbaby, I haven't been able to take on comparable since

This was the very moment that I started yearning for a wildlife lens.  Hopefully soon!

Pretty impressive...this ceiling fan was turned up to high speed when I decided to try my hand at photographing it.

Oh, Canon, I think you are my new best friend!
