Nature's beauty.

So I decided to start writing blogs now that I have my new XSI.  I bought it from this guy in Hayward who was upgrading to a 5D.  He sold it to me for $600 - I couldn't pass up the opportunity.  I mean, even with the recession & all, after purchasing the camera, I felt like the money was gonna be put to good use.  I've never actually taken any photography classes.  The only thing I know about cameras is how to take the shots.  But after messing around with Chris's T1i, I decided I wanted one just like it - only a little cheaper. I decided to name her "Lucy."  Why Lucy?  Oh, for plenty reasons. :)

I took Lucy out today for her first adventure through Alum Rock Park.  It was a beautiful day, just windy.

I decided to create these. They're not that great, but I was just messing around with it.

They say being exposed to nature helps exercise your mental muscle. Whether it's being in the great outdoors or even just looking at pictures of nature will help exercise your brain. I say, "eat breakfast outdoors." It's a great way to start a day.

I LOVE my new camera.
