LOVE!…

On Tuesday I got to spend several hours with three friends, our cameras, and 11 of our 12 children.  We took lots of staging extra’s and packed a lunch.  It was so much fun! You’ll see only ten of the kiddos, ‘cuz one is an infant & didn’t happen to be in the photo with the kids.

Yep – I played with PicMonkey.  :-D  I made myself a file of screen savers & now I get to enjoy a different picture every 30 minutes. {Let me rephrase: A picture I have taken myself.  Pictures kind of like I see at beautiful Post Road Vintage — I love Heather’s pictures!}  It has been a wonderful way to keep good memories fresh, while my face is glued to the computer.  It helps me enjoy and remember all of God’s blessings.

I got to play with a couple lens’ and we collectively determined there is in fact something wrong with my lens and my camera.  My lens didn’t perform as well as the other two 18-55 VR that came on their cameras – and when I put a 55-200 it was w.o.n.d.e.r.f.u.l, but didn’t perform the same as on the owners camera.  So, at least I know now for sure.  Just have to wait out the year so the extra protection plan I purchased will kick in.  Unless, I get up the time & energy to argue with Nikon directly again.  We’ll see.
