Brenny's 5

Well folks as if my baby turning 5 and going to kindergarten wasn't enough to remind me how big he is, the fact that he's turned part monkey and is now climbing the tree in our back yard is! I had a deja'vu moment last week when he was climbing the tree and I snapped some pictures of him. I got my canon our first christmas here (actually got in in November because Hubz couldn't wait to give it to me lol) anyway Brenny had just turned 2 in October and I snapped some beautiful shots of him in the very same tree. Only I had to set him in it and have his brother's hold him so he felt like he wasn't going to fall out. I'm thinking I may have to make this an annual shoot...the boy's in our tree...watching them grow up.

Another one of my Hobbies

So I created this blog to see my own growth in my "artsy-ness" is that a word?? Well I guess it is now. I've always loved taking photo's but when my Kidletts came along I became almost obsessed lol. My WONDERFUL Hubz bought me my first DSLR for Christmas a year ago.... I've been playing with it and Loving it but I got real comfortable shooting in Aperture Priority... Manual scared the Beezejuz out of me so it was a setting my Camera was not allowed to go to. I have a lovely friend who is an amazing photographer and has an AMAZING mentor in Colorado and we've been sharing photo's back and forth, I send her some for critique. I LOVE her because she shoot's it straight from the hip and Has got me out of my comfort zone and into the world of Manual!! And I have to admit I'm feeling like I'm getting pretty good.

On fathers day for the last 3 years Hubz has worked the Nascar Races in Sonoma, Ca. He loves it and heck it's his day right? Who am I to say no! Well this year he came home and from the race with his usual goodies PLUS.....flower's for ME!!! I got flowers for fathers day!!!! And they're in some of my favorite colors and 2 of my favorite flowers. Have I told you how much I love this man? So I'm sharing my BEAUTIFUL Father's Day flowers with you.
ENJOY!
