Jumping Back In

Well I thought I would try to jump back into this. The word for Monday November 26th over at HSMS was WET. Today was certainly wet when I got up. We had thunderstorms all night and it was still raining when I got up. So out came the camera to take some pics. Then I was reading the blogs and saw what todays prompt was. So here are my three favs out of the ones I took.

Raindrops on my bedroom window.Rain pouring out of the rain gutter and splashing on the driveway.Drops clinging to a pine tree bough.

Sad

HSMS

Sad

This week we are going to focus on emotions. We prompt you with one word and you translate it the best you can through your lens. Try hard as you can not to use a human face to reflect that emotion. For instance - Sad. A dying plant, a messy corner, mucky windows (we all have them at one point!)
For a 4 year old boy this is very sad. Did it matter when the seat came off. Not in the least. Just throw that seat away and ride on. But then the front wheel came off. Now that is a whole new ball game.

Tagged

Ok so my dear youngest daughter ShutterLadybug tagged me like a month ago. So here goes sorry it took me so long.
Here are the rules which you must abide by if you are tagged.
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself: some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).
4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment at their blogs.

Seems to me most everyone has been tagged so I won't tag anyone.

1) It took me 7 years to get pregnant the second time. So there are 9 years between I two children.
2) There is nine years difference between my second child and my first grandchild.
3) To carry this theme even farther there is 9 years difference between my oldest grandson and my youngest daughters first child.
4) I was the first female to deliver auto parts to auto shops/garages in my town.
5) I had rather drive a raggedy old pick up than an new car.
6) Mine and Hubbys 32nd anniversary will be December 6th.
7)I love watching NASCAR racing.

SOS 10

So I got my new camera and I am thrilled with it. First the squirrel he was running across the wire and I was holding the camera and had the phone held with shoulder and cheek talking to hubby when I snapped. Figured I would have nothing but a blur. He is a little blurry, but, seeing as he was one of the first day pictures and I had to snatch the camera up and was on the phone I am surprised I got anything even resembling a squirrel.
Next is some kind of big bird. Hubby says sounds like an eagle from the coloring. But I also got some pics of him in a tree and the shape of his head looks like a vulture. So I am not sure. Either way I got about 25 pics of him flying and in the tree. With my last camera I would have never gotten him flying. might have got 3 or 4 of him in the time he was in the tree.

SPS 10

Over at HSMS it is once again that dreaded day. Self Portrait Saturday.

So todays I played with some. Not a great pic but there it is. I think I need some fake eyelashes. Or implants....

Playing Catch up again

I have been waiting all week on my new camera. I went with a Canon 30d. I had lenses and batteries from the Rebel (that I killed) that would work with it. So it seemed the thing to do. So the catch up pics are all made today with the new camera. Now mind you I have a lot of learning to do on everything this camera will do. BUT I must say I think I am in love.... It is so much faster than other cameras I have owned. I love the weight of it. My Rebel just felt to light with a zoom lens. Not this baby. It feels more balanced. I always felt with the Rebel that I was moving the camera because it was so light weight when I would push the shutter. Now don't get me wrong I got some great pics with the Rebel. But I wore out the shutter on it, after only 20,000 pics. Hope this one lasts longer. It's shutter is rated at 100,000. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Bedroom

Do you have a fave spot or piece of furniture in your bedroom? Show us what you got!

Excuse the fact that you can see the air conditioner. But it being there is one of the reasons I like this part of the bedroom. I also love the wicker chairs and tables. I makes for a quite nook to read in. See my gargoyle on the window ledge. There is a second one on the other side of the air conditioner.

Window

Choose your favourite window in your house. Show the whole window, the curtains and window decoration.

Not much to the window. But it is a window I can look out of from my desk or the couch. My turtle is on the ledge and out the window I can watch birds feeding and see my garden and pond.

SOS 9

SOS at HSMS
So todays pictures are Halloween themed. Oldest Daughter is the DJ and her boyfriend is the bouncer at a small club just down the road for our house. Tonight is the Halloween party and they went dressed for it. I did her eye makeup not that you can tell alot about it and glitzed the wings up some. Also made his necklaces from chipboard and then embossed them. Yep I played around with these pictures , don't even know what all I did to them. Just playing.
Now could some of you kind ladies answer a question for me. I am looking at getting a new camera. I had a Canon Digi Rebel(300D). So I have lenses and such for a Canon. I have been looking at the 30D. Does anyone out there have one and if you do what do you think of it? Thanks for any help any of you might be able to give.
