last night I happened upon one of those moments… looked out the window as I was heading downstairs and thought I needed to check out the view from the living room… 

 
and this is what I caught… beautiful…

been taking quite a few pictures with the Olympus this week and rather pleased with these ones…

  
colourful balloons as a centrepiece… 

  
and balloons in a plant…

this one came out nicely as well… 

 
lovely feast…

had been worried that the shots wouldn’t come out as I am still working at refamiliarizing myself with the Olympus… 

happily, they turned out well… phew…

been taking lots of pictures lately with my camera… I really love my Nikon…

  
have had it for many years and love the way it fits in my hand and the great pictures it takes… I also have an Olympus, but it just doesn’t have the same comfortable feel to it…

often take pictures with my phone because it is easier than pulling out the Nikon and then downloading the shots to the computer and emailing them to my phone to use in my blog…

today I was speaking with a professional photog who talked about a different type of card which will act as wifi and send pics directly to my iPhone… have already done a bit of reading on them and will be heading to Henry’s on the weekend to learn more and hopefully get one… woo hoo… 

 
took another few pictures of the solar dragonflies in the garden… enjoying the extra light every day…

had breakfast with some bird friends this morning…

the goldfinch couple are regulars and often announce themselves with some lovely singing…

they have come to accept me as long as I move around the garden slowly, otherwise they fly away, but they always return later when it is quieter in the garden…

the purple finch couple have been coming quite regularly as well, but they are much more shy, and if I move more than quietly picking up the camera, they are gone and it takes a while for them to return…

the blue jays fly through the garden but don’t stop and the crows fly past now and again… haven’t heard any geese for a while…

got a shot of the waterfall today with the Olympus and notice that it shows the water a bit differently…

a neighbour stopped by with some degreaser to see if it would lift the oil what was spilled on the deck over the winter… will see what it looks like tomorrow…

did some weeding, and quite a bit of reading, today…
