Talk About My New Camera

Well, it's late Tuesday but at least it's still Tuesday which is better than I did for my Sunday 'meme'. My new camera arrived via the big brown truck Monday - oh how I LOVE getting packages from the big brown truck - even when it's just my Mary Kay order. Receiving packages are SO much fun!

For those who don't know or haven't noticed the lack of clear pictures around here I've been without a well working camera since July - and without a less than well working camera since September. I don't know exactly what happened but I'm sure it included many drops & some exposure to water - bad camera mommy! I know! It started with the flash not working which turned into blurry photos and eventually the thing wouldn't turn on or zoom out correctly and finally it really broke.


But that's all come to an end with my new PINK camera, you can read the specs by clicking the picture of the camera but I bought mine on e-bay {yes, brand new in packaging} and spent less even with shipping. I think my favorite part, aside from photo clarity & the fact that it actually works, is the large viewing screen on the back, so much bigger than my old camera.

Today it snowed and I took some pictures of the kids running around in the falling snow flakes. They had fun for about 5ish minutes until my fingers started to freeze - literally and I said it was time to come in. They of course had much warmer jackets on than I did so they were fine and having fun. But it turns cold & dark quick around here. I'm hoping that tomorrow I can take more pictures of them playing in the snow since there's a nice white sheet out in the grass now, just hope it doesn't melt off too quickly. Don't be too critical of the pictures, I'm a little out of practice & my kids aren't used to hearing me say "look this way, smile, no look at mommy, sit still for one second" and cared much more about the snow than the camera. I also still need to read the manual and learn about exposure since I have control over that with this camera. I'm sure you'll see much of my learning though. :D And those white dots you see are snowflakes, not a funky camera error.
