Playing instead of Packing

Yesterday, instead of packing for our upcoming vacation, I spent a couple of hours playing with my new toy.

I got a new camera on Monday and I LOVE IT!! Sorry Tammy, we no longer have twin cameras. :(

I was very indecisive about which kind of camera to buy.....in fact, I originally went to Best Buy on Friday, but left without buying anything. Isn't that sad??

The tassel pictures were some of my first......here are some others......what do you think?

All of these pictures are the original shots straight from my camera.....I didn't do any tweaking, enhancing, or cropping on the computer.

Front porch flowerpot.

Morning.

Fun with the zoom feature. This shot is from our front porch with no zoom at all.

This shot is our neighbors back yard....camera is half way zoomed in....full optical zoom. (I'm still standing on my porch.)

This is a picture of flowers that are 2 backyards away! (I'm still standing on my porch!) The camera is fully zoomed in with digital zoom...pretty cool, eh?

Macro setting.

Night time setting.

Did You Used to Have Big Hair???

Perm + gel + curling iron or crimper + lots and lots of hairspray=

Oh Yeah! You better believe I did! 

The biggest of my 'big hair days' were late 80's early 90's. Here are some pix from '88 & '89....when I was in college.

Sorority Days ...that's me on the top left.

This was when I caught the bouquet at a friend's wedding. (Bad Pix quality...but you can still see the hair!)

More Sorority Pix...

Going out on a hot night on the town. Bri is taking the pix....so you don't get to see him. (Your welcome, honey!) Note, how everyone had big hair, but mine,of course, had to be the BIGGEST!

When my kids see pictures of me from back then, they say,

"Mom, how did you get your hair so big and so brown???" :)
