Our Little Preston!

Our little Preston is growing so fast, at 1 1/2 months, he's just cuter by the day. He's starting to smile a lot, and his eyes are so big!

Aunt Robyn takes a turn with him, after I finally gave her permission. ;)

and Momma Becky just adores her little Bubba Man.

Look at that face!! How can you not want to smother him in kisses!

I could hold this child all day. He's my little sunshine guy!

A Mosaic Monday

I decided to do a Mosaic Monday today, hope you enjoy some of the pictures I took over the last 2 days. The moth on the cone flower got sick of me holding a camera to it and finally decided to open its wings for me. I'm having too much fun with this camera, I really need to stop and catch up on the housework! Clicking on the mosaic will give you a better view.

Photo Experimenting

I've been having fun taking pictures today, and here are a few of my favorites. Are you thinking, "she's not going to bore us with her pictures is she?" Would I do that to you? Why yes I would!
First I saw these two beetles on the cone flowers. I never really knew how beautiful they are.

I saw this moth on the glass last night, and had to take a picture. I never realized they have a "fringe" on the bottom of their wings until I looked at this. And how mirror imaged both wings are.
I love this picture of the lily, how the sun reflected on it. And so detailed!
This one I'm not overjoyed with, though I do like the new growth coming on.
So that's what I've done so far today, now off to finish Kim's needlebook! Enjoy your day ladies, hope it's as beautiful where you are as it is here.

A Pleasant and Awesome Surprise!

You know how sometimes you get aggravated with your husband, yet you still love him? And then he does something that totally blows you out of the water, and makes you feel like the most special person in the world? Well, that happened to me today. While talking to my sister this morning, Ken came in from the post office and said the book he wanted me to read had arrived. He then handed me this booklet. I asked what it was, and he handed me a box saying it "went with this". I opened it and started to shake! This was what was in it!!!!!!!
I couldn't believe it! A brand new Lumix, with lenses. Then he gave me another box, and that had the zoom lense in it! I can't believe it!! Really! I have a lot to learn with this, Ken is helping me right now, but here are some pics I took, and as you can see I have a long ways to go! But will have plenty of time to perfect before our trip west.


I love this picture of Chip though, the clover is popping right out of the picture!

A Special Visitor

While at our friends house this evening, this deer, who is a common visitor, was outside the great room window, feasting on squirrel food that fell from the feeder. It was quite the treat to see her so close up, and to have her look right at the camera.
