his trust the most inviolate.

My photo
I'm a hobbyist photographer, a school counselor, a health junkie, and a mom. But above all, I'm just a woman living my truth. My biggest happiness in life is to savour each moment while it happens. That's all. That's everything.

Eeeeeeeeee!!!



I, surprisingly, haven't taken as many pictures as I normally do in the course of a week because I've had other things occupying my mind.... such as oh-my-god I got a new camera! I know I'm behind the times with this device, but it's my first DSLR, so I'm more than thrilled with the Canon iRebel xSi. Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

So I've been just playing around with it, trying to figure it out, get used to it, learn the controls and settings.... And not a whole lot to show for it. This is what I have so far. I'm so looking forward to learning to get good with it. Hope you enjoy!

    I'm just noticing the Amazon box you have in your sidebar - is this new, and does it make any income for you? I've thought about adding one, also - just wondering how you like it? (Hope I'm not being nosy!)
