Happy Birthday Jenny!

Happy Birthday to Jenny! We had a fun evening of PartyLite Candle Bunko and birthday cake. It’s always wonderful to spend time with family and friends! I also had fun playing with that new lens! The light was very low, but all these were taken without flash…

Test Shot Doggies

More test shots with my new lens. I think one of my favorite subjects has to be my doggies…

New Lens – First Shots

Today I got a new lens and I love it! I bought it from Chuck Rubin’s in Louisville. It is an older model Canon 80mm – 200mm f2.8. Just after I bought it, the St. Patrick’s Day Parade began so I grabbed a few first shots with the new lens. I really love the shallow depth of field I can get with this lens. Of course I will need to practice a bit more with that, but the possibilities are wonderful!

Salato Wildlife Refuge

Today I wandered through the Salato Wildlife Refuge. I want to come back when the colors are in full swing.

Garden Beginnings & Hints of Spring

We have garden beginning and hints of spring all around our property. This year our garden has been increased to about four times the size of last year. We had a bountiful harvest last year and I thoroughly enjoyed canning the yummy fruits of our labor. This year I am hoping to have my mom here to help with the garden and canning activities. I will need all the help I can get with the expansion of my garden. In addition to the large plot, we are adding a glass greenhouse and a fenced run to protect our seedlings until they are large enough to be transplanted. I guess everyone is exploring ways to battle the economy woes, supplementing our food supply is our primary goal.

Curious Doggies

Look at all those curious dogs. Whatcha’ doin’?

Compact Holly

I can’t believe Holly still curls up into her old puppy sized bed.

Wandering Indiana

Today I went wandering around to find covered bridges and old barns. I found a storage area with old antique farm equipment. It is amazing what you will find when you just wander with a camera.
