Today, I played with the camera a little...

Today I had a bit of a play with Tara's

camera. I spotted one lonely little

dragonfly outside, I used the macro setting

and got up close and personal with

him. Pretty pleased with the result.

This one is way over exposed but I like the

way he is sitting on the stem.

The fence-line leading to our little

patch of heaven.

One sad and sorry excuse for a dandelion.

Looks pretty good though.

The shrub out near the gate, no

idea what it is, but the flowers are

cute, they are about as big as

a thumbnail. I love

this pic, it has a Japanese feel to it.

We had some strange little finches come

to visit today, by the time I grabbed

the camera fleabag (the cat) had scared

them away, I sat patiently and

waited for them to come back only

to have the stupid cat scare them again.

This fella was not so easily scared,

he seemed to be daring me to take

his pic. He was almost posing for me.


I took most of the pics today while the storm was

building all around me. I was doing just

fine until it started spitting rain and

I had to come inside. Wish I

could have played some more.

Tomorrow I am going to get a different

camera to play with, a Nikon D90.

Maybe even a Canon 450D.

I was talking camera's with a friend and

he is going to lend me his one to play

with for the day, so that I might have

a better idea of what to buy when I

get a few dollars together.

By using both cameras I will have a

better comparison. Hope the weather

tomorrow is as good as they are predicting

otherwise it might be a waste of time.

We went for a drive to Cuttagee

after Sheri finished work today, people have

been telling us all week that it is empty,

we didn't believe them until today.

This was Cuttagee in April, not a lot

of water but it still looked ok.

This was Cuttagee today, the puddles no

longer meet. It is supposed to be ocean

fed, but the water has not passed

under the bridge for a year or two.

Things are looking pretty bleak.

So that is me for another day,

be good. Hopefully I will

have a photo or two to show.

I am kinda excited, getting to

play with the real camera's.

What a treat. Hope I don't

stuff up. Lol.
