First, Happy Mothers Day to all mothers out there. And, here is my pick of flowers for each and every one of you. These are from Martha Stewart, the Martha Stewart Lotus Pod Bouquet. Very unique and special if you do ask me!
I have had a very good day. First, opened wonderful, heart felt cards from my boys and enjoyed the most beautiful flower arrangement from them. Then we went to church. We haven't been in a couple of weeks (broke our record for attending!) and was happy to be back. We are learning about Song of Soloman and I'm sure you have never experienced anything like this in church before! It's amazing and quite educational. The boys are hearing everything with us. Quite interesting conversations on the way home and I'm expecting this upcoming week as well.
Then, lunch. I love lunch. I love eating. It makes me happy. Our great friend joined us for both church and lunch. Happy times. After dropping him off my boys all took me to Creve Coeur Camera to give me hands on look at their digial SLR's. I have the itch and that's going to be a problem! We were *supposed* to do my Mothers Day shoot today but it rained all day (or most of the day) so this was postphoned. So, if I wasn't using a camera today I decide I would look at new cameras. I've had a 35mm Canon Rebel S since maybe 1991 which I've loved. It's been on the shelf since digital came out and I have to say I'm totally in love with digital. I have close to 8000 photos on my hard drive just over the last few years. I started with Kodak Point & Shoot. Quickly realized I needed more. I upgraded to my current Sony DSC-H1 which has been great. Have gotten great photos out of it. But, I need more. I find I need (and want) much more control of my photos in the editting process. I also, need to learn more about, and have more control, over my lens. Since I'm a Canon girl at heart (and have a couple Canon lens already) I'm looking at the Canon Xsi or the Canon 40D. I'm really leaning towards the Xsi because from what I read it's brand new (only two weeks old) and is giving the 40D a run for it's money. It's less expensive than the 40D too. Hmmmm. I'm processing...
Then we came home and I took a very long, deep, not waking up kind of nap. It was wonderful! When I finally did wake up (3 hours later!) I ate a bunch of junk, watched movies and TV with my family and played on my laptop - surfing the internet. It has been a total no responsibilities kind of day, which I love and doesn't happen all that much.
So, what's on my mind besides cameras. Basically in a nut shell, living life the way you want, finding out what you are passionate about and finding your way into it. We have had a death in the family recently and that has helped be a catalist for going forward on some things I continue to put on the back burner. Will share more details later but some things are in the works
