Longwood on Sunday

We went  to Longwood Gardens on Sunday and had a fabulous time.

The gardens are so lovely this time of year and with all the recent rain we've been getting, the flowers looked amazing.

Happy, happy, joy, joy!

New Camera!!!

The new camera arrived yesterday or as I like to call it, my second child.

So here's a few shots I took in the backyard with the Canon Rebel T3i with the 55 -250mm zoom.

I finally get that lovely blurred background I have been dreaming about!

I have never been able to acurately capture the purples and

pinks in this Grandpa Ott morning glory until now!

This young robin shot was taken at a very high ISO in low light. My other camera would have had much more noise in this shot from the high ISO.
