Freeze Frame

I've done it - I've bought a new camera. I've always wanted a 'semi-pro' camera but I've never really known why. But after having kids, the answer to the why comes to realization - if I don't freeze my beautiful kids into photographs, I'll miss so many milestones that I'll want to remember later. And while I'd very much like to just have a professional photographer follow me around day to day and photograph my kids - for free - it's just not going to happen (no matter how hard I cross my fingers or wish!) So, here it is - the Nikon D3100 D-SLR camera. On my lap. Resting after taking a few shots of Parker, Legend, and some honey bees outside. :o)

I hope to learn how to use this darn thing soon...there's so much potential for some fantastic pictures and I haven't the slightest clue about how to do anything besides focus the lense and engage the shutter...

I'm going to go read the manual some more now - until next time.
