till not feeling well, better but not great. Unfortunately I did something to my lower back yesterday and am finding everyday movements to be quite painful. It’s annoying because I really have too much to do and don’t need the complication of not being able to do it!
Anyway here are yesterday’s photo’s. Lesson learned: trying to figure out camera settings and play with aperture is not easy (if near impossible) while chasing a busy 16 month old.
But we still had fun!
Playing with the gate is a favorite thing to do, and because of the way it’s made she can open and close it to her heart’s content with no fear of pinched fingers.
Camera
Kirsten asked what kind of camera I have.
I have a Konica Minolta DiMage Z1
It’s several years old now but it’s held up well. I did some research before buying it and the good reviews combined with the salesman’s recommendation made it a good choice for an SLR type digital right around $300.
There are better cameras out there with bigger mega pixels (this one is 3.2) but don’t let that fool you, this camera can do way more than I understand (the link above gives more info), but I’m learning. . . and it’s fun.
There was ONE thing I didn’t like about it and that was the lens cap. It broke fairly quickly and was useless. So I made a new one which works great and I am quite happy with.
But I’ll tell you about that another time. . .
April’s Shower of Photos - Day 3
It’s raining here today. April showers and all that. I’m looking forward to photographing those May flowers. 
I’m feeling a bit under the weather (no pun intended) as I seem to have a touch of the bug. I don’t really feel up to taking photos today but I have a few old (as in previously shot) pics that I want to share anyway.
I took this picture on the plane ride to Florida in Feb.
That’s my memory card. It’s a standard SD memory card and is about 1″ x 1.5″.
I took the picture to show how TINY those little pretzels have become!
There were 7 in the bag. I’m serious.
That’s all we got to eat. I was starving. OK not really.
But here’s some fun for you. If that’s my memory card and I didn’t have an extra one with me, and my camera has to have it to take pictures, how did I take this picture? Remember, we were flying at the time so I couldn’t use my phone camera either. Any guesses?
That’s it for now –I have to run. More photos later.
