Some of This--My New Camera

It occurs to me every once in a while that I haven't updated this blog since January. I figured it was about time.

On our family vacation I purchased a new camera. I have loved taking pictures for years, and decided it was time to get myself a basic digital camera. I took several hundred pictures over the course of just a few days, and have carried my camera with me ever since. I don't pull it out very often, but here are a few moments I was able to capture:


These two pictures were taken when Mom, Sarah, Jane and I went to visit Megan in the hospital after her surgery.

Michael did very well at his piano recital, the first of his I was able to attend. When I asked him the night before if wanted me to go, he said "I don't care". When I asked if he would be sad if I didn't make it, he said "Yes". Good thing I kept going, eh?

This was the day that little Nicole was blessed. After their sacrament meeting, family and friends gathered at Lisa and Christian's house for a great picnic :)

I kept my camera trained on Dalton a while one night, this picture is probably my favorite of those. What a charmer!

One of my employees made this for me after I gave her a couple of whoppers. I love my gals :)

After my Pontiac quit working, I hitched a ride from my mom to work. We were on our way to drop Michael and his friend off at school when I saw this scene. The world seemed split in half, one side shadow the other light. I was thinking of trying to paint this picture, though I'm quite skilled enough yet to capture it on canvas.

I was at the hospital the other day and noticed that the bed I was next to me was named "Kelli". I got a kick out of it, and was glad to have my camera. Morgan's shoes matched perfectly, so of course I couldn't pass that up. The other bed in the room was named "Ducky", and I confess I found that quite humorous :)

I'm sure there will be more pictures to come. For the time being, I have a couple events I want to blog about on my main blog, so make sure to check that one out too :)
