Friday Fun

Filed Under: Family

I am entering the above photo into Give me your best shot. We have had rain all week long. I am so thankful for the rain, but my yard has a lot of  “ponds”. Dustyn has been having a blast. I will probably post pictures of that tomorrow.

Found that little spider while walking around outside yesterday. I love how fuzzy he is, but he was freaking me out while I took his picture.

In other news Carsyn is getting a little better at sitting up by himself. He did it for 5 seconds straight today. I am so excited to be able to take his pictures sitting up soon.

{not the best quality, but it is cute}

It has been raining and very, very cloudy. Which means no natural light, which means using my on camera flash. I want to buy a Speedlight for my Nikon. I think I am going to get the SB-600. It is in the middle class. I will need it this winter for inside pictures. Any suggestions are appreciated.

While we are talking about wish list, here is what else I want:
tripod & remote
seamless paper and Plexiglas for studio pictures
props
70-300mm lens with macro {would love a full macro, but can’t afford that right now}
of course an upgrade maybe a Nikon D3. Ha ha!! Okay, okay I would be happy with the D90.

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. It is suppose to quit raining today and tomorrow, but then start back up on Sunday.
