Nearly Wordless – Wait, What Day Is It Again?

I always get a little discombobulated when we have a holiday. In my mind, it’s Saturday, which normally means no post at all. But I’m a giver.

I know it says nearly wordless, and look! Words! Bear with me. I got a new camera. It isn’t super-expensive or anything, but it’s my first dSLR, and it is intimidating. The how-to guide is 400 pages. I tried it a few times with little success. I hate things that prove that I am make me feel stupid, so I put it back in the box and continued to use my little camera. Until yesterday. I sent my little camera with my daughter on her mission trip and picked up the 400 page manual. I made it 25 pages, and then I gave up and just started taking pictures. I am in love.

The girl-child. No flash means no blink. The best pic I have of her this year!

‘Nuff said, right?

A little privacy, please? I’m taking a bath here!

Note the tongue. It is always out. Always. Makes her look so smart!

This is Jasper the Rosy boa grabbing a bite to eat.

And then there are these. Click to enlarge them, too.

This was taken through glass. With a flash.

Look at how they are growing! More yellow is appearing on their shells. It will be interesting to see their patterns as adults.

Outside in the sunshine, collecting vitamin D and a little snack.

This photo was taken from a few inches away. I like the results. I can’t wait to go to the zoo to try it out!

Hmm. Guess what? Nash and Navi aren’t both girls after all. Check out the V shapes just above their tails. See how different they are?

And we went to see my friend’s puppies last night. I’ll leave you with this.

You’re welcome.
