It arrived at 12:22 pm!

 

Guess what I got today?

My Nikon D40.

I’ve been playing with it most of the evening. I am not sure what the heck the different settings mean but I sure am having fun messing around with them. In a few hours, I ended up taking 159 pictures (that I ended up keeping).

Cory was a sweetheart and played model for me. Emma was also working the camera. I could tell when I had pushed both of them to their annoyance limit. *grin*

Here are some of my favorites from today.

Emma being her cute self.

The face on the utility pole in our neighborhood.

Grey Cat from next door. She is extremely friendly and just hangs out on the porch.

Cory handing off the matches before he starts juggling FIRE!

 

Thanks for looking.

Playing at the Park

Last Monday, the weather here was wonderful. At 5 o’clock it was around 79 degrees. Cory and I decided to go out and play at the Col. Sanders Park located in our neighborhood. The next fifteen minutes were spent locating shorts, flip flops, and toys to take to the park.

 

Toys for Cory translates into as many juggling items as he can cramp into his pockets and that he can carry. I just carried the latest knitting project, pattern, and camera.

The weather was perfect. On the baseball diamond, there was a game of kickball going on. Underneath one of the trees there was a group of 10 to 12 people doing Tai chi to music played by some random dude plucking away on his guitar. Then spread through out the rest of the park were people just hanging out enjoying the weather.

I ended up playing around with Cory’s acrylic contact juggling ball. Below is my favorite picture that I shot. It was amazing to see the image reflected.
