Travel plans and show-and-tell

I'm back! Funny how school starts and suddenly I find I have no time for blogging... by the time I've got the kids to sleep and made all the lunches, my brain has turned to mush. I've also been super busy getting ready for my Next Big Adventure - I'm going to Peru for 3 weeks, next month! More on that to come!

A couple of weeks ago I took a course on digital photography at the local Parks and Rec Centre. It was such an eye-opener to really learn how to use my camera on its Manual setting - something that is long, long overdue. After the morning session we went out in the garden and got close to nature - such a fun and relaxing day! Here are some of the best shots (in my humble opinion):




This one was my favorite of the day. Our instructor told us to find our subject, then get in twice as close, then get in twice as close again. Who knew?!







... and finally, here's one I happened to take a couple of days before the course, with the camera on auto, while chasing Liam around the corn maze. So go figure!!
