So. Not quite apples. But Jenny posted pictures from a nearby sunflower field, and since I was feeling pretty guilty about not planting sunflowers for the girls this year we decided to take a drive to go find them. Note that Anna spotted them first, and said “Look, I see the sunflowers!” but Carolyn and [...]

The camera and I have parted ways. Back to the drawing board to find a new one.

I’ve been having trouble with my trusty old Kodak EasyShare point & shoot camera – the lens cover doesn’t retract all the way anymore. I use it a lot, mostly when my Canon dSLR is too much to carry around, and since we’re headed to Disney in a couple of weeks I figured it would [...]

We did a bit of raking today!

Even though I still have more than three months to plan, I’m starting to think about various things we’ll need to bring [...]

I’m playing around with flickr, because everyone else seems to be using it. I’m trying to decide if I really want yet another place that I’m storing images, or if I should just keep uploading things to my own server space. Anyone have any fabulous reasons for using it? It does seem neat, and I [...]

I so want the new Canon Digital Rebel. Imagine: a digital SLR which would work with all of my current lenses and filters, and my external flash. Drool…oh, sorry. I actually got to play with one at the camera store in the mall, and had to physically restrain myself from pulling out the credit card [...]
