Friday Fun

Filed Under: Family

macrofriday2
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.

Annie has been struggling lately with feeling angry. I’m hoping this will help and we can figure out how to best help her when she is upset. The books are super cute and have affirmations at the end.
