I have a Facebook account. I signed up in October. My friends made me do it. It was peer pressure. It was fun. It is fun. I post old and new pictures on it. I enjoy it far more than I care to admit. But that is where I posted my latest pictures. Iwent out yesterday shooting locally. I wanted to really try out the lens. I did. I am impressed even more with my camera! I took some shots that I really didn't expect to be great, that I sat back when I uploaded them and said,"WOW!" My kids were impressed. "Where did you take this one?" "How did you get that close?" "Mom, these are great~" I guess that I just pointed and shot. I will post a couple here when I am thru writing. I promise.
I am having computer issues, with my new laptop. Scott bought it for me in October, a birthday present. It refuses to charge. Not the laptop itself, but the charging cord, for some reason it isn't translating the power it is taking from the outlet to the actual laptop. So, I am doing things on Scott's laptop, cause the PC is well slower than slow, and that is being kind. This weekend, we will order a new power cord from the company, because we went to Best Buy, and they didn't have one that they were sure would fit the computer. They offered a "universal" charger, but well, it may or may not fit your laptop, and if you open it it isn't returnable.......for about $100. That isn't an option. Scott went on line and to order one for my laptop would be about $56. And the best part? It would be "THE" one for my laptop. So right now,, I am working on getting used to this laptop, the keyboard is different, so it takes me a little longer to type, and it is slow on teh upload for pictures. I discovered yesterday that there is no red eye fixer in the edit program for the pictures, but no matter, when mine is up and running again, I will put the photos there and then fix the red eyes on the kids, so those won't be here for a while.
As I get older, I have a different point of view. I see things differently. I see the way light falls differently. That may be why my pictures are better. Or it may be that I just want to slow down a little and take time to enjoy the actual picture taking. I don't know, you judge for yourself.

Those are really good picture. You are so right we get older we see and also appreciate things differently - I think that is a real plus.
I love those 'universal' things that may or may not work. So far everyone I bought has not.

Amen to those being nice photos. You've got a nice camera for sure. I've been thinking of trying my hand at some pencil drawings and might try to sketch the seagull. It will be crappy and look like a dog when I'm finished.
