The Package

That package I was talking about yesterday...
you know the one where the Fed/Ex man and yes he was cute foursons met me in town...
well
this 
is 
what
was 
waiting 
for.

My brand spankin new Canon 50D.

I think I am in love!
That is, if you can be in love with an inanimate object.

I actually read through the entire owner's manual.
Yes, I am crazy like that.
Plus, if I am going to own a camera like this, 
I had better get to know how to push its buttons.


Can I tell you how much fun I am having with this baby?

Oh, why don't I just show you instead. 

The first thing I did was walk outside and take a picture of this rock.
Photobucket

And then my Bogs.
For you non winter dwellers- these are super comfy, warm , completely waterproof boots.
Photobucket

Then I wanted to play with the shutter speed.
Mister Luke agreed to be my assistant... 
and shake his hair like a crazy kid.

Photobucket

Shutter speed not quite fast enough- a little blurry!
A small adjustment and ...
Photobucket

some more detail. 

He then decided I should see if it worked taking pictures of him doing 360s.

Photobucket

We won't tell him

Photobucket

that they look a little 

Photobucket

like

Photobucket
pirouettes.

Then next day I went exploring 
Photobucket

and found

Photobucket

all kinds of cool things

Photobucket

to take pictures of.

Photobucket

I just love old gas stations

Photobucket

and old trucks

Photobucket

and trains.

I also love this little guy...
but you already knew that!
Photobucket

This one has to be one of my favorites

Photobucket
because had I tried, there is no way I could have gotten Jackie Boy and the goose ahead of him to get their feet in sync.

So there you go- that is how much I am having with my new toy!

Have a lovely weekend.
