camera fiddling

After spending the morning at a friends house and talking a bit about photography, I thought I would play with my GOOD camera that I have had for awhile now.. teach myself some techniques.

so i went and took some pics in the yard... these are my fav ones :)

yes the last one is a striped ladybeetle..
All the kids here are keen on finding ladybeetles lol

Playgroup Xmas Party

today we had the playgroup xmas party.. kids had so much fun.. there was a jumping castle, and Santa arrived on the firetruck.. sirens and all. he gave each of the kids a present, then we had a potluck feast for morning tea. was a great time. even tho my kids wanted nothing to do with santa up close lol
this is just one of the photos I got today.. its my fav!!!
