Playing around...

...with the camera I got for my birthday from Ken and the kids! As a special "gift", the kids let me take some pictures of them, so I could try out my camera. It's a steep learning curve for me as I have always had a "point and shoot" model until now. I'll have fun experimenting!

Pumpkin Patch

I know I have not yet posted pictures from the rest of the summer or of the beginning of the school year, but I had to post these pumpkin patch ones! We had so much fun picking out our pumpkins, even though it was a little cold and windy outside. I LOVE pumpkins, especially the ones that are varying shades of gray and white. We tried a new place this year, and I was really happy with it. Instead of charging different prices for different kinds of pumpkins, they just charged unilaterally by the pound. The same pumpkins would have cost me $6 more at Kroger. I know, because I checked! :)

The pumpkins were such beautiful works of art! Fall is one of the most lovely and colorful seasons in our neck of the woods, so hopefully more autumn pictures to come!
