We have been needing rain soooo badly here, so I am super thankful that God has blessed us with a day full of it.


At the same time I am a bit bummed that I couldn't take my new camera out to play!!

Every time I went to the door, there were more drops.

I ended up laying on the floor practicing on Shelby some.
She didn't like it and was not very cooperative today under my learning curve.



I feel like I have begun all over again and am hitting wall after wall in taking good shots!
I can't do what I used to do to make it work; even the on switch is in a new and different place.

However, when I do get a good image...it is really good.
I am so pleased at the increased clarity and precision of this new beast!
I didn't think the transition would be quite so drastic, and I am missing my kid today.

Whoa that came out of nowhere didn't it.
My oldest is at camp this week....for the first time...for 11 days.
I miss his grouchy smelly teenage boy self.
Obviously he has other traits, but these are the ones that show themselves most often lately.
Oh, speaking of...this is my image for the SOOC challenge which I didn't get posted here yesterday.

The theme: Summer!
This is my growing up too fast big boy who is witty and technical and super cute.
Ugghhhh I really miss him.

Okay moving on.

I turned my practice to xbox playing boys!


I honestly don't see how one can work both thumbs at once for all those buttons and controls.




I have played, but spend the whole time running around looking at the sky shooting people accidentally.
I don't get invited very often.
ha ha.

Supper is in need of fixin'
again!
