Spring

I think spring is here to stay. I hope I didn't jinx it. Today Shane got me a new lens. He got it used for a good price. I decided I am OK keeping my Olympus and really I realize it's not a bad camera at all. I just needed a better lens than the kit one. So I played a little with aperture today and here are some of my shots. It's amazing to me how much more light a wide aperture can bring and with my older lens I just didn't have that option. I guess now I know the difference. I will keep practicing this summer and I am excited for the rain and dark days to go away and for me to get some fun shots of my kids. Hopefully. 

 My dog, Tom Tom. I think this is one of the best pics of him, mostly because I can really see his hair and nose and not like before where all you could see was just this black spot. He really needs a haircut but I love him anyway.

 Aren't these flowers so pretty? We have them all over our neighborhood.

 Peach Tree blossom.

 The wind started picking up and it was hard to get a real clear shot. I like it anyway though.

Which ones are your favorites, if any? 

Thank you sweet Shane for my new unbirthday gift. I love you!
