Upgrade/Playing

I finally did it.

I upgraded to a DSLR...

...And it. is. AMAZING!!!

 

Seriously, why didn't I just get one a couple years ago when I needed a new camera!?!

I thought a DSLR would be a little too much camera for me and I was worried about keeping the lenses properly stored... Never again! So silly!

And now I think I may be having a love affair with my new camera!

I look forward to my daily adventures to play with the settings (because I always use manual mode even though I really have NO idea what the heck I am doing!). But already, I can see the difference in texture, tone and quality! And thank you to Jillian for the 50mm lens suggestion, made a world of difference for what/where I was trying to photograph!!!

(I just realized there is a whole lotta exclamation marks in this post-

well, more than ususal- I am just so excited!!!)

So, do you have a camera?

What kind is it?

What do you love/hate about it?

Do you know what you are doing,

or do you just wing it until it looks right (like me)?

Vibrant.... Surprise!

This fall has been pretty darn fantastic.

The trees have been bursting, like they are on fire in all hues of warmth!

I am so in love with this season!

...And speaking of being in love...

This little cutie is the surprise I mentioned the other day.

Meet Margaret Sue, (I know, we are crazy!) we have been in love with her for a while and she finally went up for adoption last week! We knew we wanted a third dog, but we were thinking it would be more when we moved.

Anyway, Margi was born without a paw on her back leg and the vet decided it would be better to amputate it to prevent any future pain or infections. So she only has 3 legs and she is perfect!

Margaret is a perfect fit here!

Hope you all enjoy your weekend!!!
