The sun came out today, for the first time in forever, it seems, so I took my new camera out of doors and attempted to manipulate it into making some pretty photographs. I had spotty success.
There is this photo of Daisy, for instance. I like it, but it’s the least blurry of the thirty or so I took.
And then there’s this one, perfectly focused on the side of Thomas’s head, just behind his ear.
In my defense, he probably turned his head just as I snapped the shutter. I like it anyway.
Here’s one of Rosie, focused on her right eye. Strange little photograph.
Rosie smooshed a poor brown leaf all to smithereens while waiting for me to finish with her. It is now captured for all eternity.
And a pinecone.
I think I’ve established that I can focus well on an extremely finite area. 
I think I shall now give up the trial-and-error method of learning this camera and break out the book.
What camera did you get?
It’s a Canon Rebel T1i. I’m liking it, but I have much to learn, and so little time.
Daisy is cute. Rosie is still beautiful no matter what picture you take and though Thomas has a beautiful ear, it is those eyelashes that caught my attention.
Love you all,
