Wednesday Ramblings

My hubby loves me. :) One of my favorite photo bloggers, Amy-Rose King, recommended a new lens called a "nifty fifty". It basically means that just a very small portion of your picture is in focus. I LOVE what she does with it and wanted to give it a try! My sweet husband surprised me with the lens last night with an incredibly sweet card as well. I know my pictures are way far from Amy's, but you have to start somewhere! These are a few shots "right out of the box." Rob actually took this one. He teases me about my little hobby, but I think he secretly likes photography just as much as I do. Sometimes I think he even gets better shots than I do... grrr. ;)
This was the older lens, but it's still a great shot of little man. My post is a little haphazard here. I'm still working on the ordering of pictures and such in blogger.

I had to include this photo. I just love it. I was trying to catch Andy's new found skill of smiling, and she was begging for me to take her photo as well. Sooo funny.
My first photo with my new lens. Rob is so thoughtful, he even included some flowers for me to practice with.
Not a superbly flattering shot of Suzy, but you get the idea of how her eyes are so crisp, yet her hair is a little softer. I just love this lens and can't wait to use it next week at the coast!

Andy continues to be such a little doll. At bible study this morning, we walked in and the little grandmas were like, "Oh, it's Andy!" Coming from the perspective of Suzy never making it longer than about 20 minutes in any nursery setting, I was like, "What? He's a Smith, right? And you like him?"
My second little cutie pie. Thank you, Amy for encouraging me and being an inspiration.
