New Camera Lens

June 7, 2010 by dailygnome 4 Comments

In Florida last month I experienced camera lens envy. My brother-in-law Aaron and I have the same Nikon camera and he had recently purchased a lens solving my biggest photography challenge as an amateur: taking sharp images in low light without using the flash. I took the lens for a test spin and immediately wanted one for myself. I justified the necessity of the purchase {it’s a work write-off!}. The package arrived on our doorstep over the weekend and I got so excited while opening the box Hadley exclaimed, Appy Birtday Mama!

Presenting our soggy Sunday, in snapshots…

A boo-boo to the face:

That was easily forgotten:

Rainy days call for a soup lunch with crusty bread. Jason’s creation, {clean out the} Refrigerator Soup:

When you’re happy, I’m happy
he told me:

Anxious for her walk:

A break in the rain meant a procrastinated weed pulling session could happen {they just keep coming}:

Popcorn for dinner {don’t judge me}:

    Those are some really great photos, Amy! Popcorn for dinner is fantastic – Carson and Hadley will fondly remember the times you did that. 🙂
