Macro Berry

I have been working more often on using my manual setting on my Canon Rebel T1I. You may or may not already know that I've only had it for a couple of months so it's still fairly new to me. I'm enjoying really making the shot my own. One thing that I have learned is that using manual is not easy in a house with odd light while chasing children. I have to change my settings to often! Yikes. So I decided to try something new and capture a shot of a bowl of delicious berries. I have to say that I liked the idea (so did the girls who were sneaking in and trying to eat my prop.)

I'll be honest and tell you that my "macro" which was intended for this post of one single berry just didn't come out right. I liked the reflection in the bowl too much I suppose. It was a delightful addition. I hope you liked my captures today!

Please make sure to take a look at Theme Thursday's A Touch of Spring. Happy Friday!

The Wonderful Outdoors

Spring. Still a little wet. Still a little frozen on this fine Spring day we went out to play. The sun was even shining.

Our boots were getting muddy.

The ice mountains were worth climbing.

..and on our way back up we even stole a view of something beautiful.

Go out and play! The air was so nice and the kids came in for a warm bath, pajamas and a cartoon before bed. Within no time they were fast asleep. Happy Friday!
