Vacation Time
No dollie pics this time around...I usually have one of my resin family with me but did not manage to bring one this time around.

I feel sometimes that I have never grown up... working in the public schools helps that feeling stay around. I LOVE summer vacation. I am up in the coolness of New England at my inlaws house... went to a Boston Red Socks game, to the beach, reading lots of good books and sleeping late.

Vacations are vacations ... but none are complete without a visit to the beach. The New England's beaches and the Long Island sound are very beautiful but so different from the Texas beaches that I am used to. These beaches are wild and rocky.

I continue to try different types of shots with my new camera. Flowers are my favorite subject. I am also playing with the speed and Fstops ... I loved the composition of the kids and the wave on the beach but wished it had more depth of field. ah well....

Love seeing the beach scenes of Connecticut. So beautiful up there, rather than steamy hot Texas . . . LOL! New camera? You bought a new camera?

*waves to you and Dan* :)

Well - I mean the Canon Rebel ...which is not so new anymore but I am still not getting all the shots I would like!

I certainly felt like it is still NEW!! I am not satisfied by leaving in Auto mode any more.
sigh...

Dan says Hi back!
We are not in Kanas anymore that is for SURE!! ^ __ ^

Dan's family is in Wethersfield CT -- just south of Hartford. It has quick and easy access to the beaches! Which is way cool.

Wish you were near the ocean too!
love those cool ocean breezes...
